Biography

My newest book, Tango, an Argentine Love Story (a travel memoir of my living in Buenos Aires) has just been published. I have written for many publications (on food, travel, fitness), including Islands, Country Living, Yoga Journal, VIA Magazine (where I was a staff editor for 17 years), the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post. I am the editor of Seal Press anthologies, "love stories" on France, Italy, Mexico, and Greece. I am the author of several cookbooks and one novel. My short story, Plot Theory, won third place in the 2006 Kurt Vonnegut short fiction contest and was published in the North American Journal. I am currently doing book signing events for Tango (see my Web site - www.camillecusumano.com for details).
