SUMMARY:Slow Books: Discussion of Jacques Pepin's "The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for wine\, hors d’oeuvres\, and a Slow Book discussion of The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen\nValerie Pallatroni’s home\, Healdsburg (address will be sent upon registration) \nPlease bring an hors d’oeuvre and beverage to share. \nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com \n\nWhat Is Slow Books?\nSlow Books is a series of discussions of food-related books written from a variety of perspectives–chef\, critic\, consumer\, producer. Meetings are held every 6 weeks and are open to everyone with an interest in the current book. Books are chosen by the group. Hosting and discussion leader will change for each meeting. \nThe Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen by Jacques Pepin\nIn this captivating memoir\, the man whom Julia Child has called “the best chef in America” tells the story of his rise from a frightened apprentice in an exacting Old World kitchen to an Emmy Award–winning superstar who taught millions of Americans how to cook and shaped the nation’s tastes in the bargain. \nWe see young Jacques as a homesick six-year-old boy in war-ravaged France\, working on a farm in exchange for food\, dodging bombs\, and bearing witness as German soldiers capture his father\, a fighter in the Resistance. Soon Jacques is caught up in the hurly-burly action of his mother’s café\, where he proves a natural. He endures a literal trial by fire and works his way up the ladder in the feudal system of France’s most famous restaurant\, finally becoming Charles de Gaulle’s personal chef\, watching the world being refashioned from the other side of the kitchen door. \nWhen he comes to America\, Jacques immediately falls in with a small group of as-yet-unknown food lovers\, including Craig Claiborne\, James Beard\, and Julia Child\, whose adventures redefine American food. \n“The Apprentice” is the poignant and sometimes funny tale of a boy’s coming of age. Beyond that\, it is the story of America’s culinary awakening and the transformation of food from an afterthought to a national preoccupation.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED-An Afternoon with Healdsburg Author\, Lia Huber
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reading and discussion of Nourished: A Memoir of Food\, Faith\, and Enduring Love (with Recipes).\nLia Huber is a long-time Slow Food enthusiast and past board member of Sonoma County North. She enjoyed 5 minutes of fame when the Press Democrat featured her backyard Bodega Red potatoes during the time the board members were doing the first grow-out.\nShe has received acclaim for Nourished: A Memoir of Food\, Faith\, and Enduring Love (with Recipes). The New York Times calls Nourished\, “[A] charming foodie’s travel memoir…[Huber] is endearing\, engaging company and the reader roots for her success.” \nIt was a Buzzfeed Best Book of 2017: “Lia Huber’s Nourished is…deeply heartfelt\, exploring her journey toward using food to nourish physically\, emotionally\, and spiritually.” \nLia will read selections from Nourished\, followed by a moderated Question and Answer discussion. Books will be available for sale and signing.\nOur literary afternoon will include wine and hors d’oeuvres selected from the book’s recipes\, including \nGarlic-Lime Grilled Shrimp \nMelted Summer Squash \nGarlicky Swiss Chard Tartines \nGrilled Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Figs \nWatermelon Agua Fresca \nTickets are $20 per person from Brown Paper Tickets.

From there\, Huber takes readers to the Greek island of Corfu\, where she learns the joys of simple food and the power of unconditional love; to a Costa Rican jungle house\, where she finds hope and healing; and finally to California’s wine country\, where she steps into the person she was meant to be and discovers her calling to nourish others.
