Food Lit & Cookbook Bookclub - NEA Big Read The Potlikker Papers


October 28, 2019

October Meeting: As part of the NEA 2019 Big Read we will be discussing The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South. The book offers a culinary celebration of the many ethnic groups that have contributed to America's vibrant food culture.
