Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love was at the top of my reading list when I planned a trip to Bali last year. The memoir so impressed me that upon arriving in Ubud, I followed Gilbert’s path to meet healer Wayan Nuriasih in person, and tried her herbal jamu (traditional Indonesian medicinal concoctions).
And when I heard Gilbert and her latest book—a cookbook called At Home on the Range—would be the subject of one of the famous Book Passage “Cooks with Books” events at Left Bank restaurant in Larkspur, California, I looked forward to meeting Gilbert herself.
Read my Elizabeth Gilbert article on The Women’s Eye to learn:
