Famous Faces, Famous Places, Famous Food
Includes 98 recipes, 16 pages of color photos and 31 pages of black and white photographs. Great authors have always left their mark on their landscapes. In Famous Faces, Famous Places & famous Food, Victoria Brooks travels the planet, illuminating their fascinating lives with the exotic, sometimes erotic ink of their chosen lands. This collection of biographical and culinary wanderlust includes her personal experience with the amazing and lively Arthur C. Clarke in terrorist torn Sri Lanka, her heart-wrenching visit with the late literary beacon Paul Bowles in seedy Tangier, and an encounter with mystery writer and steeplechaser Dick Francis in the banker's haven of Grand Cayman.

As the climatologists, geologists, paleolimnologists, and biologists displayed their results and debated interpret...
