Exciting Interview; One of the Best!

My thanks to the author for formulating this book on 15 foods. I appreciated hearing of the book’s content and its conceptual organization explained by the author. So many of the foods were more evocative than others but I appreciated the fun and joy in creating this book. There was a good type of messiness that was used in the more contemporary food selections. But I appreciated the validity of each choice made. In this mix there were a couple of choices that were vague to me such as the Tex -Mex and Korean foods seemed appropriate to the west coast with its East Asian and regional Mexican influences. I say that not because I don’t agree. in Texas, we’re I am, Tex-Mex is considered regional but maybe not American. I grew up with Cajun foods but don’t consider it an American food. But these choices were certainly evocative to keep interest high. It’s a fascinating book, as was the interview. Thank you Anna! Good luck on the next one!

In some ways this was one of Lee’s best interviews. He always brings himself to each interview and this one was spirited and exciting. I is definitely worth the listen for the lively exchanges in the interview.
