Caroline and I had a great time on Tuesday at Thrice chatting with the people who showed up for our first Feminist Kitchen book club + film series meeting! Thanks to Thrice for hosting us and to everyone who came to the cafe and chimed in on the discussion online. (You can check out some of the conversation on the live blog.)
Next month’s selection isn’t quite as mainstream as “Eat Pray Love,” but it is by far the biggest food book to have come out this year: Gabrielle Hamilton’s “Blood, Bones and Butter.” Hamilton is the chef/owner of Prune in New York City, and she won the James Beard award for best chef in the city a few months ago.
Here’s the recap of the book I posted in March, but I’m looking forward to reading it again and hearing your thoughts on it.
We’ll meet at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 13, at Thrice, 909 W. Mary St.
If you don’t own the book, consider buying it from BookWoman, 5501 N. Lamar Blvd., which is giving 10 percent off to customers who mention the Feminist Kitchen book club.
I know this is the most ridiculous request EVER…but! I just bought my ticket for SXSW for next year (yeah, already *eye roll*) and would LOVE if a book club meeting overlapped with the conference, or even just a Feminist Kitchen meet up?! I’d love to be in a room with smart women talking about food and feminism while I just happen to be in Austin.
What an awesome idea! We’ll put our heads together to come up with some kick-ass meet-up. Book club or not, it’d be a fun excuse to get together…
