What inspired you to write your book? As a food writer, I always knew I wanted t write a book-it just took me awhile to figure out what that was exactly. My family is from Nicaragua and I've spent most of my life explaining where Nicaragua is located on a map and its cuisine. I figured I would write a book about its food and history. Having grown up in Miami, I eventually got to thinking that Miami's own food history had not been documented. The idea came about in 2009 and I haven't looked back … [Read more...] about The Sizzling History of Miami Cuisine: Cortaditos, Stone Crabs and Empanadas by Mandy Baca @mandybaca

Chez Tulips – Recipes and Stories by Sandra Rector
What inspired you to write your book? As a kid, my parents owned a bar/cafe in a small town. Their big concern was that my brother and I not eat up the slim profits. At that time if you ate one candy bar, the profits from the whole box were lost. As a grownup, I have worked as a mystery shopper, a billing clerk, a freelance writer and as a food taster for a large corporation.
