    Bread and Oil - A Celebration of...

    A blend of history, travelogue, and cookbook focused on the Spanish island, “with a strong sense of place [and] a genuine voice…satisfying as a fine novel” (Terese Allen, author of The Flavor of Wisconsin). Coarse bread bathed in olive oil, then rubbed with tomato or garlic and salt, is common to all the Mediterranean cultures from France to Algeria, from Morocco to Greece. On the island of Majorca, it is known as pa amb oli, bread and oil. Tomás Graves takes this healthy peasant staple as a starting point to explore not only Mediterranean cooking, agriculture, and traditions but also the historical events that have rescued this simple dish from disappearing along with a way of life that had remained essentially unchanged since Roman times. Pa amb oli has come to symbolize for Majorcans all that is still honest and valid in the island, which became a major tourist destination in the 1960s and has been looking for its soul ever since. In Bread & Oil this wonderfully evocative writer celebrates the Majorcan character as reflected in its eating habits. He makes the sights, insights, sounds, scents, and lively folk of the Spanish island jump to life brilliantly. Whether he's writing about class structure, love, or war, Graves, in his own translation of the original Catalan version, manages to tie it all in to bread and oil. Part adventure log, part history book, part travelogue, part restaurant guide, and part cookbook, Bread & Oil includes recipes that reflect the indigenous ingredients: wrinkled olives made with olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic; fried sardines topped with sautéed onions and marinated in vinegar served cold with bread and oil; guacamole with tomatoes and onions; and aubergine mousse with cinnamon and curry powder. Graves, son of British poet Robert Graves, writes of a wise tip he once got: “In the event of having had too much to drink, eat a slice of bread soaked in virgin olive oil and in an hour’s time you'll feel right as rain again.” The same can undoubtedly be said of reading this book.

    After college getting her dream job in New York City, Kristen Van Nest thought she had everything a modern millennial was supposed to want: a sexy zip code, a boyfriend, and a corporate job. But instead of feeling content, she soon realized she had no idea who she was and what made her happy. Naturally, she did what any sane person would do: hopped on a plane and spent the rest of her twenties living abroad and traveling the world in search of love, adventure, and new and exciting places to eat bread. By stripping away the cultural norms and expectations she grew up with in the US, Kristen rebuilt from scratch a new identity, sense of self, and life purpose that ultimately led her to move to Los Angeles to pursue comedy. Through living in Luxembourg on a Fulbright Scholarship and then in China for three years working for a wine importer, she takes us across the globe on her adventures—including nearly being murdered by a lover while skiing in Switzerland, navigating Greece during a banking crisis, and visiting Thailand during a government coup—all while struggling to find belonging. Where to Nest is a story for anyone who needs a good laugh, travel ideas, and inspiration for ways to add more joy into their lives.

    The legacy of authentic indigenous healing practices and traditional shamanism is disappearing. Marie-Rose Phan-Lê is doing her part to preserve this precious human resource, which has gifts to give humankind in these challenging times. She has traveled the world seeking healers who have been trained in some of the most ancient healing traditions on the planet. This dialogue covers a few of the highlights of her travels to Hawaii, Nepal, Peru, and other places of healing. Early on in her heroine’s journey she was brought in front of the camera by the Hawaiian Kahuna, Papa K. This changed her life and allowed us to be witness to her most profound journey, as depicted in her documentary and companion book. She says, “That was the moment where I crossed the line from behind the camera to in front of the camera. I left the ordinary world and there was no turning back.” Every healer she encountered gave her a gift and entrusted her with their stories. In this rich and deep dialogue, she brings these stories back to us. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
