{"product_id":"9781634059602","title":"Meet Me at the Bamboo Table: Everyday Meals Everywhere","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn our ever-more-globalized world, how better to connect than with food, and who better to connect us than a chowhound communications professor? A.V. Crofts has spent decades eating (and learning) her way around the world. She's studied in China, taught in Italy, and conducted humanitarian communications trainings in war-torn Sudan. Here, she traces a lifetime of meals across states and continents for the ways that food ties us together. With warm, thoughtful prose, Crofts invites us to the only coffee shop in Kunming; to a home-cooked feast at a civil rights pilgrimage in Alabama; to a surprise Thanksgiving in Germany; and to her annual Lunar New Year dumpling party in Seattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis full-color visual tour-de-force will delight foodies, armchair travelers, and anyone who's ever learned a little something from a special meal. Photos, \"sketchnotes,\" and other ephemera from Crofts's globetrotting coalesce into a truly beautiful meditation on how food nourishes community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eA.V.
