I doubt that your upcoming memoir will fall into the “navel-gazing” category, knowing the scope of your previous work! I am looking forward to reading Mint Tea and Minarets, for sure.

To me, it is more of a family album. At least, it does have gorgeous food and location photography.
Bon appetit!

Good to hear from you. “Deluge” is the right word, indeed! It’s really rather amazing, isn’t it, the number of these works that keep appearing. Don’t get me wrong, some are really good, but … .
