Alex Prud’homme has made a career in food writing. It is initially surprising to think that his recent book is just as much political account as it is culinary record. But the reader soon learns— in the words of Anthony Bourdain—“Nothing is more political than food.” With impeccable research, Prud’homme proves that food can fortify starving troops, serve as an olive branch between warring nations, and offer subtle commentary on everything from religion to environmentalism to economics. Join him for an evening of history, entertainment and good eats!
