Foodie Book Club

A book club for home cooks, foodies, industry folks, and anyone in-between.  We will be focusing on all sorts of food writing. Somethemes will be (but not limited to): food critics, chef memoirs, wine, food history, and food politics.

The Foodie group meets virtually on the last Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. (EST), beginning in June 2022.  Please email landrybaileye@gmail.com for the Zoom meeting info.

The November 2024 Selection could not be listed. It is Hamburger Heaven: The Illustrated History of the Hamburger by Jeffrey Tennyson. Club members will have to obtain it separately.
