Richard Sterling’s writing reminds me of M.F.K. Fisher. But where she is elegant and feminine, he is wild and masculine.
— Maxine Hong Kingston, author of Woman Warrior
Richard Sterling travels like I do, eats like I do but, damn it, he’s a better cook!
— Joe Cummings, author of Lonely Planet Thailand
As a storyteller, Sterling excels; he reels off his tales with the pulp-fiction flair of a fireside storyteller, taking sincere pleasure in the richness of the English language.
— George Zahora, Splendid Ezine
Richard Sterling lives up to his title as the gifted storyteller serving as tour guide who takes the reader through a series of sassy escapades along roads less traveled…Sterling’s macho-gastro-comical adventures tinged with equal parts of pathos, earthy humor and just a pinch of malarkey may be just the right recipe to kick start jaded taste buds to new heights.
