A Fork in the Road: Tales of Food, Pleasure and Discovery on the Road
2014 James Beard Award Nominee and 2014 Society of Travel Writers Foundation Thomas Lowell Travel Journalism Bronze Award Winner for Travel Book
Join us at the table for this 34-course banquet of original stories from food-obsessed writers and chefs sharing their life-changing food experiences.
The dubious joy of a Twinkie, the hunger-sauced rhapsody of fish heads, the grand celebration of an Indian wedding feast; the things we eat and the people we eat with remain powerful signposts in our memories, long after the plates have been cleared. Tuck in, and bon appetit!
Featuring tales from: James Oseland, Frances Mayes, Giles Coren, Curtis Stone, Annabel Langbein, Neil Perry, Tamasin Day-Lewis, Jay Rayner, Madhur Jaffrey, Michael Pollan, Josh Ozersky, Marcus Samuelsson, Naomi Duguid, Jane and Michael Stern, Francine Prose, Ma Thanegi, Kaui Hart Hemmings, Rita Mae Brown, Monique Truong, Fuschia Dunlop, David Kamp, Mas Masumoto, Daniel Vaughn, Tom Carson, Andre Aciman, MJ Hyland, Alan Richman, Beth Kracklauer, Sigrid Nunez, Chang Rae Lee, Julia Reed, Gael Greene

Review
The Guardian, December 16, 2013
In a time when most food writing is about dieting or recipes, it s a real pleasure to revisit the old art of food travel writing.
Refinery29, December 16, 2013
For the world traveler who thinks they've eaten everything, this is THE present of the year. Told through the personal stories of chefs, foodies, and travel writers, "A Fork In The Road" offers tales of legendary meals and truly unique food experiences across the globe. Dig in.
The New York Times Book Review, December 6, 2013
Critics, chefs and just plain bons vivants contribute to this anthology of food-themed travel yarns, which spans the globe from Addis Ababa to the Amazon.
Kirkus Reviews, December 2013
A savory collection of personal narratives about the fabulous and even miraculous ways that food revives the great, exciting promise of life . . . . Funny, insightful and revealing, Oseland s anthology is not just a delightful adventure in world cuisine, but also a thoughtful exploration of the emotions that so often accompany cooking, dining and eating. . . . Delicious reading for the discerning foodie.
360 West Magazine, December 2013
A bite of cassoulet can transport you to the French countryside, just as a taste of perfect mole launches you to a cobblestone street in Oaxaca. Enormously sentimental and often funny food memories fill each page of a "A Fork in the Road," Lonely Planet s new 304-page book of essays. Michael Pollan, Frances Mayes and Dallas own Daniel Vaughn (aka The Barbecue Snob) are among food writers, chefs and novelists who demonstrate with eloquence how eating shaped their travel experiences.
Longitude, December 2013
You don't have to read Proust to know how a single, well-composed bite can transport the diner to distant lands. This anthology gathers the great food and travel writers from Michael Pollan to Frances Mayes around one table.
