Title of Event: Patricia and Walter Wells
When: Saturday, May 10, 2008 4:00 PM
Location: Sonoma Valley Woman's Club, 574 First St. E., Sonoma, CA 95476
Description: Food writer and chef par excellence, Patricia Wells, is the author of many superlative cookbooks. In her latest book, We've Always Had Paris...and Provence: A Scrapbook of Our Life in France she joins with her husband, Walter, to describe their life in the country of their culinary inspiration. Wells is the author of The Paris Cookbook, Patricia Wells at Home in Provence: Recipes Inspired by Her Farmhouse in Provence, Bistro Cooking, and many other popular works. Here she and Walter tell about their food-driven life in France-- how food has held them together and solidified their marriage, whether connecting over nightly dinners at some of France’s most acclaimed tables or jointly fighting the battle of the bulge. This charming memoir is told in alternating voices as these high-profile expatriates chronicle their enduring love affair with France, its cuisine, and each other. Recipes included, of course. Food and wine will be served. This is part of the Sonoma Arts and Lectures series. Tickets $15 at Readers' Books or online at sonomacommunitycenter.org

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR
