A passion for food and a love of books led to the formation of our Slow Food Book Group in March 2006. The aim of the group is quite simply to discuss books related to food and the pleasures of eating.

We usually meet in the Summertown Wine Café and sip drinks as we talk, although the venue sometimes changes to accommodate wider events involving food, such as our Bread evening in November 2006. The discussions are relaxed and very informal; reading the book is suggested but certainly not required. The books are chosen by the members of the group and as you can see from the titles that we have already read our tastes are quite far-ranging.

New members are always welcome to join us. We meet about every two months – check the events section of the website for details. If you would like to attend our next meeting please email Liz Wilding at webeditor@slowfood-oxon.org.uk with any questions.
