Grub: Ideas for an Urban, Organic Book Reading
Seattlest's newfound fascination with cook book tours will likely be short-lived, but right now the fires of our interest burn hot and we have another something-something for you to attend tonight along those lines. Tonight at Elliot Bay Books Anna Lappé will be taking the stage to read from her book on sustainable food Grub: Ideas for an Urban, Organic Kitchen.
Alright, we just purchased Grub from Amazon. It looks like the book spends a little time talking about how evil food and food production is, talks about how to shop more sustainably and more locally and then has a bunch of recipes. From time to time we've been known to cook, read and care about the planet so it's an easy $12. Plus it'll look cool on our bookshelf during our imaginary dinner parties. If there's a choir for Lappe's preaching it's Seattlest, and probably 90% of Seattle for that matter - We understand the tenents of sustainable food production and we get local, but sometimes when we step into QFC things fall apart. Grub sounds like a map to where we want to go. Now whether we can afford the Whole Foods toll or not remains to be seen, but Grub sounds like it's for us.
Anna's a Brooklynite, but she's a contributor for the local, but global, site WorldChanging.com and edits the food section of their coming book, so she's definitely going to have a posse and you may want to arrive early.
