Book Club 2.0

Hey there, hungry minds and curious tastebuds —

Ready to time-travel through America’s kitchens before microwaves, drive-thrus, and TikTok recipes? Join us for a book club feast featuring Mark Kurlansky’s The Food of a Younger Land — a quirky, flavorful collection of food stories from a bygone era when recipes were handwritten and dinner was a regional affair.

This book revives a lost WPA project from the 1930s, capturing the flavors and foodways of a country on the cusp of transformation. From Vermont maple syrup lore to Oklahoma chuck wagon tales, it’s a feast of storytelling that’s as much about people as it is about food.
Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or just curious about what America used to eat, this one’s for you. Bring your thoughts, your appetite for discussion, and maybe even a dish inspired by the book!

This time we will be meeting at the restaurant next to Aldar Cafe.
