We are pleased to welcome fiction writer and passionate cook Erica Bauermeister, who explores the profound insights that food can offer in her mouth-watering and exquisitely written debut novel, The School of Essential Ingredients. Join us for a luscious evening.
At Lillian’s restaurant, a group of eight women and men from different stages in life gather for a cooking class taught by a woman with a magical gift for both food and friendship. It soon becomes clear, however, that each student comes seeking a recipe for something beyond the kitchen. The elements of love, sex, grief, joy, and self-discovery mingle into a complex and intriguing mélange.
