Food for Thought, and Then Some: A Conversation with James Oseland

On this installment of ST, we speak with James Oseland, who is the editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine --- and who is also known for his TV appearances as a judge on Bravo's "Top Chef Masters." Oseland's 2006 book, "Cradle of Flavor," a memoir with recipes about living in Southeast Asia, was an award-winning volume that drew rave reviews from critics, readers, and foodies alike. Oseland was in town yesterday to do a reading/signing event for Book Smart Tulsa; while he was here, he dropped by our KWGS studios for a discussion about favorite dishes, culinary trends, reliable recipes, and how he himself first got interested in food writing. (You can learn more more about Oseland and his work here.)
