We live in an age of war and terror. The four horsemen of the
apocalypse gallop through the world as if they had coffee hot-wired
into their veins. The tea time of the soul seems lost for the
moment. Perhaps the answer is to return to a quieter more peaceful
time when the world stopped each day for an hour or so, when people
put aside everything else to enjoy a brief respite with their
favourite cuppa. Tea Leaves suggests that we contemplate those
bygone times and think about mapping future tea leaves in a better
world. This is a tea travel book that takes readers to the four
corners of the earth in search of that little bit of heaven on
earth - the perfectly appointed tearoom with its perfectly brewed
cup of tea. You won't visit every tea country here not will you get
a taste of every tea experience available across the globe. But you
will share my sense of the social meaning of tea. In Tea Leaves,
tea is defined as calm, while coffee, that other hot drink, is
frantic. Tea is safe, coffee dangerous. Tea is peace, coffee war.
Tea is history, coffee modern. Tea is truth, coffee gossip. Tea is
literature, coffee journalism. Tea is rural, coffee urban. Tea is
healthy, coffee is not. Tea is the waltz, coffee is the mambo, the
watusi, the cha, cha, cha. Tea is the Beatles, coffee the Rolling
Stones. Tea cures cancer, coffee can cause it. Tea is life, coffee
is ulcers. Tea is heaven, coffee can lead to hell. Tea Leaves
offers readers something special by whetting your appetite to take
some tea leaves of your own. And it strives to offer a momentary
escape from the fast-paced, market-mad new world that is
increasingly coffee-driven. If it does those things, then its
mission will have been accomplished. RV October 2011

Most visitors to New Orleans, whether they're in the city on
business or for a little well-deserved playtime, don't wander too
far from the French Quarter or the downtown hotels. That's a shame,
really, because outside the "Visitors District" are some of the
Crescent City's finest restaurants, coziest bistros, historic
saloons and eateries that are as casual as they are eccentric. Now
there's a guide that's been written for the mobile visitor about to
discover that in New Orleans there's always something interesting
just down the road. Focused totally on cafes and restaurants beyond
the Visitors District, New Orleans Dining is designed for the
adventurous food lover willing to go the extra mile to discover
what makes New Orleans one of America's premier culinary
playgrounds. For nearly forty years, the city has been the home
away from home for novelist and epicurean essayist Steven Wells
Hicks and in all that time he's taken notes, taken names and now
he's kicking butt. Inside this fourth edition of his best-selling
New Orleans guidebooks, visitors will find everything from white
tablecloth places to six-napkin poor-boy joints, all expressly
written for the visiting food lover with more taste than time. Some
of the restaurants are famous, some not and some are even called
out as the tourist traps they are. Candid, curmudgeonly,
occasionally flippant yet always thought-provoking, the book's
leisurely essays covering more than three dozen intriguing
restaurants are designed to steer guests toward the city's
best...and away from the rest.
