Books, Bites & Booze book club is on this fall

2010 August 4

Back in the spring, I mentioned that I might start a book club in the fall. The club, which I will call Books, Bites & Booze, will concentrate on books that talk about our food system (Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; The Omnivore’s Dilemma; Food Matters, etc.) as well as books that are accounts of people who have immersed themselves in the food culture of a region or other food experience (A Year in Provence; The Art of Eating In, etc.).

I’d love for it to be a casual time where we discuss a book and food news as well as share local wines, beers, and light fare (although I won’t be the local food police and demand everything be local).

I have a copy of The Art of Eating In that I haven’t read yet, so I thought we might start with that, but I’m also open to suggestions. The first meeting would be at a mutually agreed upon public place and we can talk about where we’d like to meet monthly from there on.

When I first mentioned the book club in the spring, I had two people tell me they were definitely interested. I’m looking for others in the South Jersey region that might be interested in joining this book club in September.

    Sounds like a great thing. I live in Winslow, near Berlin, but cannot commit to attendance yet, because I work weeknights…but keep us posted!
