December Book Club Discussion

Take advantage of the television Writers' Strike to enjoy the work of other writers: instead of watching reruns, relax this holiday season and read a book! The Foster & Dobbs book club meets monthly to discuss books with a food and wine focus, and we are always happy to have new people take part. Join us on Monday, December 3rd, for a lively discussion of The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Empire. This book chronicles the development of the wine industry in California, focusing on the lively (which is a nice way of saying 'dysfunctional') family dynamics of the Mondavis. The discussion will start at 7:15 and last an hour or so.

Next up for the book club: The United States of Arugula by David Kamp, which investigates how we moved from a "mushy vegetables and meat" diet to the richly diverse and distinctive American cuisine we enjoy today. The book is available in paperback and Broadway Books (at NE 17th & NE Broadway) offers book club members a 10% discount. The discussion will take place on Monday, January 3rd at 7:15. Join us!
