SUMMARY:Slow Books: Clementine in the Kitchen (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen “Clémentine in the Kitchen” first appeared in 1943\, it immediately captivated American readers. Written by the artist Samuel Chamberlain under the pen name Phineas Beck\, it recounts the gastronomic adventures of the Beck/Chamberlain family during the decade that their beguiling Burgundian cook Clémentine produced wonderful French meals for them\, both in France and in their New England home in Marblehead\, MA. An appendix contains 125 recipes–classic dishes\, regional specialties\, and much that is useful for special occasions. But the most compelling are plain and old-fashioned. These are the dishes that identify the Clémentine family style\, a style so French\, so civilized\, so knowing in its use of ingredients that it cannot become impractical or ever go out of date: filets de sole au vin blanc\, boeuf à la mode\, endives braisées― trophies of la cuisine bourgeoise that never fail to please. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: "The Omnivore's Dilemma"
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, February 24\, Slow Books will discuss The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. We will meet at 5:30 pm at Denaire Nixon’s home in Cloverdale. RSVP required\nWhat should we have for dinner? Ten years ago\, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and\, with “The Omnivore’s Dilemma\,” his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices\, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since\, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America\, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later\, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics\, perils\, and pleasures of eating. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: Discussion of Daniel Stone's "The Food Explorer"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Slow Book discussion of The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats\,” by Daniel Stone.\nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com. Once we receive your registration\, we will send you additional information and directions to the event.\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 changes for each meeting. \nThe Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats\, by Daniel Stone.\nDavid Fairchild was a late-nineteenth-century botanist who traveled the globe and introduced diverse crops such as avocados\, mangoes\, seedless grapes—and thousands more—to the American plate. \nIn the nineteenth century\, American meals were about subsistence\, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached\, appetites broadened\, and David Fairchild set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater. \nKale from Croatia\, mangoes from India\, and hops from Bavaria. Peaches from China\, avocados from Chile\, and pomegranates from Malta. Fairchild’s finds weren’t just limited to food: From Egypt he sent back a variety of cotton that revolutionized an industry\, and via Japan he introduced the cherry blossom tree\, forever brightening America’s capital. Along the way\, he was arrested\, caught diseases\, and bargained with island tribes. But his culinary ambition came during a formative era\, and through him\, America transformed into the most diverse food system ever created. (Amazon) \n

Hosting and discussion leader changes for each meeting. \n*Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain*\n“Kitchen Confidential” reveals what Bourdain calls “twenty-five years of sex\, drugs\, bad behavior and haute cuisine.” \nBourdain uses a “take-no-prisoners” attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book\, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. From Bourdain’s first oyster in the Gironde\, to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he witnesses for the first time the real delights of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center\, to drug dealers in the east village\, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again\, Bourdain’s tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. \n“Kitchen Confidential” will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. You’ll beg the chef for more\, please. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Slow Books: "Coming to My Senses" (event full)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for wine\, hors d’oeuvres\, and a Slow Book discussion of Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters.\nLisa Hunter’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 Slow Food Sonoma County North\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 changes for each meeting \nComing to My Senses: The Making of A Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters\nWhen Alice Waters opened the doors of her “little French restaurant” in Berkeley\, California in 1971 at the age of 27\, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape—Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naiveté and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor\, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers. \nIn “Coming to My Senses\,” Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. \nDotted with stories\, recipes\, photographs\, and letters\, “Coming to My Senses” is at once deeply personal and modestly understated\, a quietly revealing look at one woman’s evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food. (Amazon)

Hosting and discussion leader will change for each meeting. \nField Days: A Year of Farming\, Eating\, and Drinking Wine in California by Jonah Raskin\nSooner or later\, nearly everyone who cares about wine and food comes to Sonoma”—so begins this lively excursion to a spectacular region that has become known internationally as a locavore’s paradise. Part memoir\, part vivid reportage\, Field Days chronicles the renaissance in farming organically and eating locally that is unfolding in Northern California. \nJonah Raskin tells of the year he spent on Oak Hill Farm—working the fields\, selling produce at farmers’ markets\, and following it to restaurants. He also goes behind the scenes at Whole Foods. In this luminous account of his experiences\, Raskin introduces a dynamic cast of characters—farmers\, chefs\, winemakers\, farm workers\, and environmentalists. They include such luminaries as Warren Weber at Star Route Farm\, the oldest certified organic farm in Marin County; Bob Cannard\, who has supplied Chez Panisse with vegetables for decades; Sharon Grossi\, the owner of the largest organic farm in Sonoma; and Craig Stoll\, the founder and executive chef at Delfina in San Francisco. Raskin also offers portraits of renowned historical figures\, including Luther Burbank\, Jack London\, and M.F.K. Fisher. \nField Days is a heartfelt celebration of the farm-to-table movement and its cultural reverberations.

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.

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.

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:Around the Slow Table\, Cookbook Version: "Ad Hoc at Home"
DESCRIPTION:Do you like to try new recipes and share the results with a small group of friends? Do you enjoy discussing a dish’s ingredients and process of creating it? If you said YES\, then join us for dinner based on recipes each guest prepares from Ad Hoc at Home\, by Thomas Keller. \nDebbi and Mark Crapeau’s home\, Healdsburg. Address will be sent upon registration. \nLimited to 10 people (including hosts). \nThis is how it works. Get a copy of Ad Hoc at Home and select a recipe that appeals to you. Make enough for 10 people to have a small amount (a recipe that serves 4-6 people should be sufficient). \nPlease also bring a beverage to share. \nAt dinner you’ll get to know each other and discuss your experiences preparing your dish. You may also nominate your own favorite cookbook for another Slow Table meal. \nPlease RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com. After you receive confirmation from us\, tell us what recipe you have chosen. \nThomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day. In the book every home cook has been waiting for\, the revered Thomas Keller turns his imagination to the American comfort foods closest to his heart—flaky biscuits\, chicken pot pies\, New England clam bakes\, and cherry pies so delicious and redolent of childhood that they give Proust’s madeleines a run for their money. In “Ad Hoc at Home”—a cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville—Keller showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for wine\, hors d’oeuvres\, and a Slow Books discussion!\n195 Westside Road\, Healdsburg\, Marisha Zeffer’s home\nPlease bring an appetizer and beverage to share.\nThere is no charge for this event\, but space is limited. Please RSVP to slowfoodsonomacountynorth@gmail.com \nSlow Books are discussions of food-related books written from a variety of perspectives–chef\, critic\, consumer\, producer.

Blood\, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood\, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France\, Greece\, and Turkey\, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; Hamilton’s own kitchen at Prune\, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law\, who serves as the link between Hamilton’s idyllic past and her own future family—the result of a prickly marriage that nonetheless yields lasting dividends. By turns epic and intimate\, Gabrielle Hamilton’s story is told with uncommon honesty\, grit\, humor\, and passion.
