One Food Lover’s Journey to the Land, or The American Paradox
A talk followed by a dinner based on Lynne’s recipes
Sunday, March 8
Coffman Memorial Union, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
Talk: 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium
Dinner: 3 p.m. at the Campus Club
Who are we Americans when we sit down to eat? Why do we have all the conflicts over food? How come we can never be like other countries? Lynne digs into these questions as she relates her own coming of age story. It’s a look at food today in America and one woman’s lust for good eating.
Lynne’s presentation (sure to be delightful and informative) will be followed by a dinner upstairs at the Campus Club, based on some of her favorite recipes. The club is known for its good food, and the kitchen sources many ingredients locally. Wine from Crofut and Alexis Bailly will be served.
Bring your books by Lynne for autographing. Door prize drawings for books will be held at the talk and dinner.
Tickets for the presentation are $15 general admission. Tickets for both the presentation and dinner are $65 for Slow Food members and $75 for non-members. All but $35 of the package cost is tax deductible. Proceeds will benefit Slow Food Minnesota’s Terra Madre fund.
