Are you ready for food adventures from around the world? Today’s show is all about culinary travel from the spice markets of Marrakech to the island of Sicily, where a traditional pasta dish is topped with crispy bread crumbs. Join me for a whirlwind journey of flavors with food and travel writer Carolyn O’Neil, who has been a great friend of mine for many decades.
Carolyn O’Neil is a registered dietitian nutritionist who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, but calls the world her home. After 20 years at CNN, where she launched and led the network’s coverage of food, nutrition, and cuisine, Carolyn is now a food and travel writer. She contributes to a number of publications including Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine and Food & Wine magazine. She has authored two cookbooks, The Dish: On Eating Healthy and Being Fabulous! AND The Slim Down South Cookbook with Southern Living magazine. Carolyn also appears on the Food Network as the “Lady of the Refrigerator” on Alton Brown’s Good Eats: The Return!
