eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Yesterday I had a memo from Unley library to say a book I had requested was now available for me to collect.
I had forgotten I had ordered it.
I remember someone recommending it through their blog, but who and when?
My first blog to search would be Pattie's FoodShed Planet and sure enough those 3 words eat, pray, love appear in her post list.
And it was just over a year ago that Pattie spent 3 days in a hammock and ate and prayed and loved her way through this book.

You could look up FoodShed Planet to read Pattie's comments.
Pattie says this:

"Although not a professed foodie or localvore, Liz does celebrate the unique beauty of local food throughout this book. The first question she asks in every town in Italy she visits is "Where can I get the best meal?" And it's always a celebration of local traditions and tastes, as well as a powerful way to connect with people. In India, she eats daily vegetarian meals at the Ashram at which she's staying, and Indonesia is full of healing food."

The first section of the book, eat, takes place in Italy.
Pattie says the book mentions local food, page 45 mentions roasted endive and on page 61 I notice the author is offered homemade limoncello.

Sound a bit like someone we know? who says she is always hungry.

HAPPY TRAVELLING KATE

So as Kate is about to spend quite a few hours flying around the globe I thought she might like to look out for this book.

If I am too busy reading to come back on line, have a fantastic trip Kate.

We will look forward to hearing all your tales and gardening experiences with our distant gardening bloggers.

And yes we shall grow some seedlings for your summer garden.

Have fun Kate, we shall miss you.
