Chow / Books For the Literate Gourmand: Cooks & Books
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 1:20 PM
You say you know how to read? And you love food and things food-oriented? Also you have some money? Local force-of-nature Kim Ricketts knows what to do with you—her Cooks & Books dinner-parties-with-food-writers-and-people series is in its 12th year, and this season, quite frankly, kicks ass. To wit:
September 11: dinner at Spinasse with newly unmasked former New York Times restaurant reviewer Frank Bruni—his new memoir is reviewed by Susan Orlean here
September 14: Lark with Langdon Cook, local forager and author of The Fat of the Land
September 20: Serafina with cookbook author (and son-of-Marcella) Giuliano Hazan
October 16: the Ruins with also-former-New-York-Times-restaurant-reviewer William Grimes, author of the new Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York ("From the days of oyster bars and turtle soup to the birth of Little Italy and Chinatown—with side trips to Delmonico’s, Lindy’s, the Plaza—we will feast on courses from some of the great eras and menus of that city...")
November 10: Spring Hill with Momofuku's David Chang—awesome profile of him here
December 7: Bastille, Thomas Keller (enough said)
It's a phenomenal lineup.
Prices (high) and details may be found here.
