Eat Their Words: Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

Eat Their Words is a food-focused book club featuring literature and memoirs written by chefs, foodies, and other food lovers, where the content of the book is curated into a culinary experience by chefs and restauranteurs.

Each month, we will read a book and discuss it during an evening event where the book is brought to life through a custom food experience or special meal.
