About Ann Mah "I'm an American writer based in Paris and Washington, DC. My articles on food and travel have appeared in the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, the Washington Post, Vogue.com, Food52, BonAppétit.com, Best American Travel Writing 2017, Washingtonian magazine, and other publications. To read some of my recent work, take a look at my clips here. My new novel, The Lost Vintage, is a USA Today bestseller and Indie Next pick. I've also written a memoir, Mastering the Art of French Eating – which was an Amazon editors' pick, and winner of the Elle readers prize – and a novel, Kitchen Chinese, which Publishers Weekly called “a great start for a writer with much promise.” I'm also the author of Instantly French, a French cookbook for the Instant Pot and other multifunctional electric pressure cookers. My books have been translated into over twelve languages. As the recipient of a James Beard Foundation culinary scholarship, I studied in Bologna, Italy, an experience that forged a love of lasagne with béchamel sauce, and prohibitively expensive balsamic vinegar. I have also earned the Level 2 Award in Wine & Spirits with distinction from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET). I was born in Orange County, California and after graduating from UCLA, I moved to New York City where I worked as a book editor. I currently live in Paris and Washington, DC and have called many other places home, including Hanoi, Vietnam and Beijing, China. My husband's diplomatic career brings frequent international moves, as well as lots of fresh material (and occasional angst) to write about :)" Website: http://www.annmah.net/ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This episode is sponsored by Culinary Historians of Northern California, a Bay Area educational group dedicated to the study of food, drink, and culture in human history.

Hey travelers, Welcome to Episode, lucky number 7. This is a super exciting episode for me! I absolutely love to read, and travel has provided me with the perfect excuse for keeping my nose in a book. I read books made of paper as well as read electronically on my iPad. I am not the one who is downloading and binging on the latest Netflix series. No, I am deliriously happy to sit and read for hours on the plane, guilt-free. The holidays are coming, and everyone is in gift-giving mode, so I thought I would share titles that fill my soul and make me smile - I am sharing my current favorite top eight books that are about food and travel. There are obviously so many to choose from, but these titles are ones you may not be that familiar with the exception of the first one on the list Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. I take you through the list and share what I like about them and offer a few travel connections of my own. Do You Use A Reading Journal? Do you log your reading? I have been keeping a simple reading journal since 2005, but there is a new journal I talk about on the podcast called My Reading Life, A Book Journal by Anne Bogel. I plan to use my new copy very soon and have purchased other copies to give as gifts for Christmas. Even if you are not a big reader, you will enjoy hearing the stories that go along with each of these titles. Earlier this year I wrote a popular blog post on my blog AdventuresofEmptyNesters.com where I share 15 Books About Food & Travel That Saved Me During the Pandemic. So I decided to talk about this list in a podcast episode! Great idea! I only talk about half of them, it was too much book talk for one episode! You can click on the link above to get the full list. Here is the list of my favorite food & travel books in no particular order: My Reading Life, A Book Journal - Anne Bogel Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time - Moira Hodgson Cork Dork - Bianca Bosker Mastering the Art of French Eating and The Lost Vintage - Ann Mah L'appart "The Delights and Disasters of Making Paris Home"- David Lebowitz Travels with Charley in Search of America - John Steinbeck Slow Your Roll - Meg S.

This week on Tea & Tattle, I’m joined by the journalist and author, Ann Mah, to discuss Ann’s bestselling book, The Lost Vintage. Having grown up in America, Ann developed a love for France from a young age, and she now splits her time between Washington DC and Paris. Her memoir, Mastering the Art of French Eating, describes the year Ann spent travelling through France and sampling different regional dishes of the country. I read Ann’s latest novel, The Lost Vintage, before my trip to Burgundy earlier in October. It was the perfect book for the occasion, as it’s set in Burgundy and tells the story of Kate, a wine expert who is studying for the Master of Wine exam. Kate travels from California to Burgundy to stay with her French relatives who own a vineyard, so she can brush up on her knowledge of Burgundian wines. Whilst there, Kate discovers a hidden room within the family’s cellar, full of priceless bottles of wine that were hidden from the Nazis during WW2. But Kate also uncovers some disturbing information about her family - could one of her ancestors have collaborated with the Nazis? The Lost Vintage is a gripping book full of beautiful descriptions of the Burgundian countryside, as well as fascinating information about French food, wine and history. In today’s discussion, Ann tells about the inspiration behind the book and why she become so fascinated by France’s history during WW2. It’s a brilliant discussion that’s sure to please any Francophile. Read the show notes: teaandtattlepodcast.com/home/91 Get in touch!

Ann Mah and Anya von Bremzen both combine personal history with an exploration of national cuisine. When the State Department reassigned Mah's husband from Paris to Baghdad, she used her time alone to explore the provinces, tracking down the most cherished regional dishes, an adventure she recounts in Mastering the Art of French Eating. Von Bremzen came to the U.S. from the Soviet Union as a young girl; in Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking, she recounts her family's history, but also reflects on how the Soviet vision of food (and the reality its citizens had to deal with) shifted over the decades.
