My article on delicious food in Laos’ ancient royal capital, Luang Prabang, is in the spring 2013 issue of Taste & Travel International magazine: Eating high and low in magical Luang Prabang, Laos. My article includes an easy recipe for my favourite sandwich … almost like the ladies in Luang Prabang used to make it.

While they didn’t get credit in the print edition, I’d like to give a big shout out to two great photographers who kindly shared their photos with me:

• Dani Heinrich of GlobetrotterGirls.com has six photos featured in the article (the photo of the cool crab-carrying and -cooking basket above is hers); and
• Rick Whiteford, of TrailFinders Canada, has two photos featured, plus gave me great tips on the latest goings on in Luang Prabang.

Scroll down to the end of the article for photo credit details.  I’ll be back in Laos myself in late 2013, and hope to get some great photos of my own!
