Check out our recent interview with Salma Abdelnour, author of Jasmine and Fire.

"Whenever I take walks, or travel, in any city in the world, I always have some kind of food adventure in mind," Salma says. "Hunting down a specific bakery I’ve heard about, or a particular dish or street-food vendor, gives me something to do when I’m traveling or just walking around, and gives me a way to connect with a place I’m discovering or rediscovering. It’s an excuse to wander off on a quest, to interact with a city and its people, and of course to treat myself to something delicious or fascinating in the process."

This book is fantastic. I love the way she talks about food and travel and being a single woman. The idea of revisiting your childhood home is such that anyone can relate to it. I'm almost done with this book and I would highly recommend it!
