Celebrate MFK Fisher - BBQ and readings at the Summertown wine coffee, 27/08/08, 7:30pm


Tags:


The next book club meeting combines a discussion of MFK Fisher's The Gastronomical Me with the Summertown Wine Café's Summer Barbecue, featuring a selection of BBQ meats and salads for £10. We look forward to seeing new and old book club members for a relaxed and informative meeting. The BBQ is optional for those without a big appetite.



MFK Fisher is one of the greatest food writers in the world and no-one should miss the pleasure of reading her prose.  How can you resist a book that begins in this way: "There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk. And that is my answer, when people ask me: Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love?"



The book can be found in two formats:



The Gastronomical ME (£13.50)
