只有一件事我喜欢尝试新食物 - 那就是在新的地方尝试新食物。
但是，当我无法放纵自己对旅行的热情时，我会抓起一本书，沉迷于一些扶手椅度假。 通过撰写关于他们在城市生活或访问城市时的经历的作者来代替生活让我觉得我是他们旅程的一部分，与他们一起学习（和吃）。
如果你是一个扶手椅旅行者或美食家 - 或者两者兼而有之 - 这里有几本书可以让你去异国情调的地方并让你垂涎欲滴。

<p>This autobiography is not only a story about food writer Kim Severson’s relationships with food and the people who have taught her about food, but also about her relationship to the two cities where she)
Beginning with her first food-writing job at The San Francisco Chronicle, Severson takes readers on a journey through the Northern California food scene. Whether she's talking about meeting restaurant legend Alice Waters of Chez Panisse fame or her love affair with the Meyer lemon, she gives us a great sense of the California food culture.
Severson later moves to New York City to write for The New York Times, where she endures a coastal culture shock and laments the lack of seasonal, fresh produce. When she finally finds her rhythm in New York and writes about its joys (trips to Union Square's Greenmarket!), you feel like you're discovering them along with her.
