Literate Foodie Club

Literate Foodies has been meeting since March 2016.  They focus each meeting on a book and topic for discussion and a rotating team of cooks prepare related recipes for a sampling by all attendants.  Each month could feature chef memoirs, food travel, food history, national and international cuisines, techniques, and cookbooks! 

We have a rotating panel of members who participate in presentations; each from unique backgrounds but all share a love of food, reading, and learning.  Dana and Jan are retired professionals who facilitate the program by planning and bringing a love of food and ideas to our very social group.
