Alice Driver

I started this blog when I was teaching a class in Segovia, Spain titled "Living the City Through Contemporary Spanish Literature and Visual Culture."I am a writer whose exuberance for travel and food cannot be contained (except perhaps sometimes by the rigors of a Ph.D. program which leaves me with no time to cook). In the past year I have had several memorable meals: reindeer with lingonberry vodka in Helsinki, Finland; roasted baby lamb in Peñafiel, Spain; mofongo in San Juan, Puerto Rico and the biggest avocado of my life in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Perhaps the best meal of my life was prepared by my Dad, Stephen Driver, and consisted of a scallop with eggplant caviar in a carrot reduction sauce. You can find several of my travel articles in the guidebooks To Vietnam With Love (available on Amazon.com) and To Thailand With Love (coming out in spring 2010).
