I’m on tour October and November. I may still add dates and events up to the last minute, so check the tour page often. Media and bloggers, check out the Media Room.
Events often feature reading, discussion, snacks and sips (wine, where it’s legal). We’ll talk about “What’s happening in America’s kitchens?” I’ll be discussing fascinating insights uncovered over a year-long project studying home cooking among a group of volunteers. Discussion points include: shopping tips, which cooking lessons make the greatest impact, how to stretch grocery dollars and make thoughtful decisions for your budget, health and the environment. Want me to come to your town? Let me know.
