About the Author
Since cooking and travelling are two of Holly Amidon’s favorite pastimes, it makes sense that she would somehow link them together. In this, her second cookbook, Holly not only shares favorite recipes enjoyed on family vacations, island getaways, and rigorous athletic adventures, but she also recounts fun trip anecdotes and pertinent historical and cultural facts to put these holidays into a culinary perspective. Holly makes it a point to seek out and order regional specialties and delicacies whenever she is away from home. Then, as she enjoys these foods, Holly tries to deconstruct them so she can recreate them upon her return to upstate New York. Holly has a passion for sharing her food with others, so most of her family and many of her friends have enjoyed these dishes with her over the past few years.
