You seem to have had a wonderful time. I was under the impression that the fruit plant in the first picture is actually an ornamental plant related to the banana family and not a “real” banana tree. Hm…..

Wow. I hope someday I can make the trip and pick the brains of my favorite food bloggers.

getting a book deal is definitely not an easy thing. I’ve had to get rid of the my agent and now working directly working with the publisher. Better that way, but still a hassle. Wish I were there. Latino’s need to represent, too, you know!

Glad you guys had fun and Mexico is always such a great place to make it happen!

Kudos on it all!

I came via Ruhlman’s blog & I don’t know why I wasn’t reading sooner (now I’m subscribing!). Those street tacos also look amazing. And for the advice, it’s great to read I have no idea most the time what I’m doing (blogging or otherwise) & hearing/reading from those who have more experience is always a big help.

I loved reading this. Helped me feel like I was there, as I would have loved that!
Thanks for sharing esp. the highlights of the blog to book talk…nice to hear both David and Jaden’s different perspectives/experiences. And I love all your photos, as usual!

I really enjoyed reading this post. It is always great to hear advice from other, more experienced bloggers out there. Somehow I always feel like I will never know all there is to know about photography, writing, etc. In a way, it is better that way because it gives me something to constantly work on. Thanks for the great post and the beautiful market photos!

Thanks for the report guys! I gotta say, though, that Jaden’s publishing company only seems small on a relative scale (vs. Wiley, Clarkson Potter), but Tuttle is no lame duck. I think it’s done a good job keeping its focus on Asian culture.

I’m glad you all had a great time!
