Very excited to let you know about two book-related events in the next month.
Wednesday, FEBRUARY 6
6:00-7:30
Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture
Pocantico Hills, NY
For locals and Tri-Staters and food-lovers who, like me, look for any excuse to patronize Stone Barns, please come visit me there on Wednesday, February 6 [1] at 6:00. They’ve chosen Dinner: A Love Story [2] as the book to launch their very promising Cookbook Club Program. If you’d like to register (or even if you are just reading Dinner: A Love Story with your own book club) you can download a discussion guide on my Book [3] page. Or you can just show up and eat! (There will be samples of something from my book.) I’ll also give a short talk loosely titled “Five Steps to Kickstart Family Dinner.” (The first rule — “Don’t go to readings smack in the middle of dinnertime” — will go into effect the day after the reading.) To register, please head to their website [1].
Saturday, MARCH 2
4:00-5:00
Powerhouse on 8th
Park Slope, Brooklyn
So odd that I’ve done events in LA, San Francisco, Connecticut, Boston, and all around Westchester, but I haven’t hit the good old 718 yet. Until now! I am so incredibly psyched to hang out at Powerhouse on 8th [4] in Park Slope with my friend Melissa, who will be signing her book, The New Brooklyn Cookbook [5], but will be preparing and handing out Mexican chocolate icebox cookies and cups of butternut squash soup from my book. (That’s what you call a good friend!) I’ll just be signing — no reading — so even if you only have five minutes, please stop by.
If you are interested in holding a Dinner: A Love Story [2] event, please get in touch: IHaveNoShame@dinneralovestory.com — sorry, I mean jenny@dinneralovestory.com.
Hope to see you!
