S3/E4 - Special Episode - A life Simmered Over Low Heat: How My Book Came To Be

from Bites And Sights · host Tatiana Mejía, Gastronomic Tourism Pioneer in South America and astuviaje gourmet´s CEO.

This is not an episode about how to write a book.  It's about everything that happened before writing it.  For years, I put it off. There was always something more urgent than sitting down to write: routes to design, communities to serve, passengers to accompany, decisions to make. But life, which has its own way of putting us on pause, forced me to do it.    And there, between forced pauses, unhurried cooking, a swollen body, and thoughts that could no longer wait, the book began to write itself. Not with an editorial calendar or advisors, but with what I had: lived stories, processed pain, and much to be thankful for. It's not a cookbook, but there is cooking. It's not a travel book, but it has roads.  It's not self-help, but it helped me keep going. And although it didn't fit into any traditional category, it ended up representing South America at the Gourmand Awards. In this episode, I share with you the story behind that book: the before, the during, and everything you don't see when an achievement is celebrated. Calmly, truthfully, and with an open heart.    Follow me on social media:   Instagram – LinkedIn – YouTube - Facebook⁠  And visit our website to continue discovering the world with your five senses: www.astuviaje.com
