![]() ![]() ![]() Italian author **Elena Ferrante’**s gutsy and compulsively readable new novel, the first of a trilogy, is a terrific entry point for Americans unfamiliar with the famously reclusive writer, whose go-for-broke tales of women’s shadow selves-those ambivalent mothers and seething divorcées too complex or unseemly for polite society (and most literary fiction, for that matter)-shimmer with Balzacian human detail and subtle psychological suspense. With so many literary heavyweights clamoring for attention this fall, it would be both easy-and a terrible mistake-to miss one more. ![]()

The mastic has a subtle, pine-like flavor and gives the ice cream a chewy, stretchy texture that's exceedingly cream. The place: Daidadi Gelato in Hermoupolis, Syros, Greece. Melissa Clark, New York Times Food Columnist From fondue caves to Hawaiian cocktails, the tastes and memories are wildly different and entirely delectable. With that in mind, we asked a few chefs, cookbook authors, and food columnists we admire to tell us their favorite anecdote about food and travel. We'll find ourselves telling and retelling those food tales to any appreciative, hungry audience willing to listen. Sometimes a food or beverage experience is so singular, so delicious, so mind-altering, that one flavor profile is forever linked to one place. There has been more than one occasion where we've realized whole albums of our vacation photos consist only of the meals, snacks, and drinks we consumed on the road.Įven then, photos don't always do the memory justice. Taste sensations in Hawaii, Argentina, and Tennessee. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Jonah proposes to Tessa, she must decide whether his offer was made out of love or simply because his father needs a nursemaid.
