Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The 2006 Miami Book Fair is coming up in just a few short weeks and it is a great place to get up close and personal of hundreds of celebrated authors from around the world. Of course, we have a particular interest in the food writers and cookbook authors who will be there and after seeing the list of attendees, we were not disappointed. Food lovers will see:
- Wine writer Jay McInerney
- Jennifer Rubell, author of Real Life Entertaining
- Fit and fast food writer Linda Gassenheimer
- Caterer, cook and author Diane Goodman
- Havana Salsa author Viviana Carballo
- And the "it" chef/writer of the moment, Anthony Bourdain
Slashfood readers can expect to see the works of these authors, as well as several others, featured here leading up to the Fair. Others in attendance will be authors of the non-food persuasion and include Isabel Allende, Nora Ephron and Thomas Cahill.
On top of the opportunity to interact with the authors and attend wonderful seminars, there is also a huge street fair that goes along with the event, where visitors will find everything from books and art to food and drinks from around the world. Since it's Miami, expect to see lots of Cuban and Caribbean offerings.
The Book Fair will be Florida Center for the Literary Arts at Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus from November 12 – 19, 2006.
