Dames Who Read 50th Book

Dames Who Read 50th Book

National Dish by Anya Von Bremzen

In this engrossing and timely journey to the crossroads of food and identity, award-winning writer Anya von Bremzen explores six of the world’s most fascinating and iconic culinary cultures—France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Mexico, and Turkey—brilliantly weaving cuisine, history, and politics into a work of scintillating connoisseurship and charm.

Traditionally, our winter book has been one that takes some time to read and absorb. This one is no exception. You will learn so much about how now-familiar foods have come to be identified with a specific place, when in fact, they may have originated somewhere else and often traveled around the globe before settling in their accepted “place.” It’s a great read! Each of the six chapters deals with a different dish and its history. There is no plot to follow, so read them in any order.

This event is free to attend. This is a Dames Only event.
