Carole Bumpus is a culinary/travel writer who focuses on history, culture and cuisine. Her books have won wide acclaim. “Savoring the Old Ways” is the overarching theme for the work she produces.

A review of her first book, A Cup of Redemption, a historical novel, reveals her writing skill:

“Bumpus manages time and again to strike at the emotional hearts of her characters…A robust, entrancing debut [novel].” Kirkus Reviews, Indie Editor featured review .

Because her readers requested recipes for the dishes she wrote about, Carole followed with Recipes for Redemption.

Her original food/travel interviews, taken from over seventy-five people in France and fifty in Italy, are the heart of a series of books called Searching for Family and Traditions at the French Table and A September to Remember: Searching for Family and Traditions at the Italian Table.

Carole’s work has received recognition from International Book Awards. A retired family therapist, Carole began writing a culinary travel series when she stumbled upon the amazing stories of women, recipes and war in France. Her first book, the novel A Cup of Redemption, was based on the poignant story of a French woman she had met and interviewed.
