Odysseus knew the value of taking the long way home, and you should, too. In "Missing the Bus, Making the Tales and Tastes of Travel," T.A. Keenleyside eschews the rose-coloured reminiscences of the tourist for the insights of the seasoned traveller, an elusive category of person in an age when cheap flights, all-inclusive vacations, and a Starbucks on every corner make it easy to leave home without really leaving at all.Part travel memoir, part cookbook, "Missing the Bus" is a collection of timeless stories full of humour and adventure that deal with universal travel experiences and the small, unexpected moments that are often the highlight of a trip. For Keenleyside, the voyage doesn't always turn out as planned, but the memories, and the meals are something to savour over and over again.2009 English Canada winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in the categories of culinary travel and food literature.
