Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Linda Ellerbee has always been one of my heroes in journalism and in life, and from her writing, anyone can see why. TAKE BIG BITES brings her independent and inquisitive spirit on her extensive travels around the world, and tops off her heartwarming stories with her favorite recipes gathered from her adventures. Seeing the world from her eyes, with her taste for the unusual and her hunger to try it all, will open your mind, your senses, and your heart."--Maria Shriver. "TAKE BIG BITES is delicious reading--an engaging memoir by a woman who has been many places and done many things (besides the ones she's famous for) and somehow managed to discover and enjoy good food, both plain and fancy. In recounting her adventures, she is knowing (but never a know-it-all), offhandedly funny, and affecting without a hint of affectation. Imagine an M.F.K. Fisher with a sense of humor and a little more warmth."--Colman Andrews, Saveur. Pristine hardcover w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, in a bright, attractive jacket.

And from Catalina Island, the author gives a glimpse at a wild child's life in that one-of-a-kind environment.

Growing up with six siblings in a tiny beach cottage, "You have to do somehting to survive." Telling funny stories about her idiotic antics and the poignant events that filled her life kept Paula's friends in stitches and kept the author sane.
