Patricia Harris and David Lyon (chapters 1–13 and 16–20) have
journeyed the world for American, British, Swiss, and Asian
publishers to write about food, culture, art, and design. They have
covered subjects as diverse as elk migrations in western Canada,
the street markets of Shanghai, winter hiking on the Jungfrau, and
the origins of Mesoamerican civilization in the Mexican tropics. In
the name of research, they have eaten hot-peppertoasted
grasshoppers, English beef, and roasted armadillo in banana sauce.
When good wine or craft beer is unavailable, they drink Diet Coke.
Wherever they go, they are continually drawn back to Spain for the
fl amenco nightlife, the Moorish architecture of Andalucía, the
world-weary and lust-ridden saints of Zurbarán, and the
phantasmagoric visions of El Greco—and the sheer joy of conversing
with the regulars in a thousand little bars while drinking the
house wine and eating tapas of Manchego and chorizo. |
