Kaye's Musings

Kaye is not your typical. (fill in the blank). As the only child to a free-spirited ForeignService Officer father and a Martha Stewart-meets-Betty Crocker mother, Kaye's lifehas been anything but ordinary. Though born in America, Kaye spent the majority of herchildhood abroad, so "home" included third-world areas in West Africa, Afghanistan, andIndia, as well as bustling cities in Switzerland, Turkey, and Hungary. Constantly movingand interacting with new cultures, populations and cuisines gifted Kaye with compassionand curiosity, as well as a healthy dose of anxiety — all of which flavor Kaye's Musingswith spice and a kick of umami from beginning to end (or more appropriately, from"appetizer to dessert."). Diners beware: portion-control is not an option! Thisblunt-to-the-bone memoir of Kaye's zig-zag life is marinaded with intellectual banter andwitty humor that will have you reaching for seconds. or devouring it whole. Dare wesay, "Bon Appétit"?
