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 at 6:00. They've chosen Dinner: A Love Story 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 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.
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 in Park Slope with my friend Melissa, who will be signing her book, The New Brooklyn Cookbook, 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 event, please get in touch: IHaveNoShame@dinneralovestory.com -- sorry, I mean jenny@dinneralovestory.com.
Hope to see you! JR
