I promise the Feminist Kitchen wasn’t only created for the book club, but I haven’t had much time lately to blog about interesting women-in-food news, like the awesome public scolding […]
I’m so excited for tomorrow’s get-together to talk about “Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots.” We’ll meet at 7 p.m. at Elaine’s Pork and Pie, 2113 Manor Road. Hopefully we can […]
Sorry for the late notice on this, friends, but at 7 p.m. at BookPeople tonight, I’ll be interviewing Bob Spitz, who last year published “Dearie,” which might be the longest, […]
We had so many good options on the table for the next Feminist Kitchen book club that I decided to just plan the next three books that we’ll read and […]
Tomorrow night, we’ll be meeting at Elaine’s Pork and Pie, 2113 Manor Road next to Eastside Cafe, at 7 p.m. to talk about Babette’s Feast. I rented the movie from […]
I confess to knowing next to nothing about Babette’s Feast. Author Karen Blixen, who wrote under the pen name Isak Dinesen, is most famous for Out of Africa, which came […]
Patty Andrews lived a long and, by most accounts, full life. She was one of the biggest stars in America in the 1940s and beyond as the lead vocalist with […]
I first connected with MFK Fisher over bread. In her 1942 book, “How to Cook a Wolf,” she wrote so eloquently about the endorphin-inducing ceremony of making bread that it […]
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Feminist Kitchen holiday get-together last night at Hopfields! I found out that A) Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have his-and-hers perfumes B) […]
To celebrate another wonderful year of the Feminist Kitchen book club + film series, we’re going to get together for a little holiday get-together at Hopfields Gastropub, 3110 Guadalupe St., […]
I want you to meet my friends, Tolly and Polly. These crazy little characters, who happen to have a Twitter account (@tollyandpolly), came to my sweet husband one Thanksgiving Day a […]
Looking forward to seeing some of you at the book club Tuesday (tomorrow) at House Wine, 408 Josephine Street, which is right behind the P.Terry’s on the corner of South […]
Another excellent book club this week! Thanks to everyone who came to talk about “Day of Honey” and for helping pick the November book selection: Caitlin Moran’s “How to Be […]
Just a little reminder that we’re getting together at Thai Fresh at 7 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 9) to chat about “A Day of Honey” and any other ramblings rolling […]
After a look at motherhood in Washington D.C. and New York City in the 80s (thanks, Nora!), let’s jump forward a few decades (and major bodies of water) to the […]
For our next book club meeting, we’ll head from academia straight into pop culture with Nora Ephron’s “Heartburn,” her 1983 autobiographical novel that was made into a film with Meryl […]
I haven’t read “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but like everyone else, I’ve heard plenty about the racy bestselling book, which has even inspired a Pinterest board with ideas for themed […]
I feel like a bigger “Hunger Games” fan girl than ever after tonight’s Feminist Kitchen book club + film series at Thai Fresh. Katniss/Jennifer Lawrence-as-breadwinner, the meaning of hunger, our […]
Because I’m clearly not the only person drunk on “The Hunger Games” books right now, we’re going to talk about the first book and movie at next month’s Feminist Kitchen […]
Two quick updates this Sunday night: 1) Hat tip (again) to Emily Matchar for pointing out this New York Times story about city living versus country living and the vast […]
