The next book group will focus on "Indulgence: One Man's Selfless Search for the Best Chocolate" by Paul Richardson and we will meet on Wednesday January 14th at the Summertown wine cafe at 7.30pm. If you feel inspired by the book, please bring along a small sample of your favourite chocolate to fuel our discussion.

Dear all

the outline of the event is still being drawn at the time of printing but I would like to know already if you would be interested in attending as we will have to confirm numbers to our hosts very soon!

The book:

The Slow Food Story
Politics and Pleasure

The book focuses on the cuisine of South West France and mixes recipes with insights into the region, its people and its culture. My copy has only just arrived, but I am already hungry. Because of the nature of this book we are going to make this next meeting a potluck get together at my house in Oxford. The idea is to bring along a dish from the book (more or less) to fuel our chat. I hope it sounds good - I'm planning to put together one of the soup recipes to warm up the evening. When you know if you can make it, please send me an email and I'll send out directions to my house.

BBQ featuring the Oxford Sausage (SF Oxon nomination for the Ark of Taste).

The BBQ will be held at the old ISIS Hotel at along the tow path at Iffley Lock. People can drive to Iffely part near lock and walk acrsoos the Thames to get there, they can cycle/walk along the tow path from oxford or they can catch one of Salters boats to iffely lock for a gentle ride along the Thames.
