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.

Monday, February 10, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

$50-$75 sliding scale includes book (courtesy of Booked), dinner and drinks inspired by Like Water for Chocolate, and book club activities and discussion.

February Eat Their Words Book Club will be at Booked in Evanston.
