Eat Their Words: My Life in France by Julia Child

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 chef and food & culture writer JT Goehring-Newman. 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.

Monday, December 9, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
My Life in France by Julia Child
