Monthly Book Club

By TIC Admin | May 31, 2019 | Announcement

Join us at The Interchurch Center Library for our monthly book club. This July we'll be reading In the Devil's Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food by Stewart Lee Allen. The Book Club will be meeting Thursday, July 18th, 2019.

About the Book:

Deliciously organized by the Seven Deadly Sins, here is a scintillating history of forbidden foods through the ages—and how these mouth-watering taboos have defined cultures around the world.

Filled with incredible food history and the author’s travels to many of these exotic locales, In the Devil’s Garden also features recipes like the matzo-ball stews outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition and the forbidden “chocolate champagnes” of the Aztecs. This is truly a delectable book that will be consumed by food lovers, culinary historians, amateur anthropologists, and armchair travelers alike. Bon appétit!
