TASTY READS – SLOW FOOD WESTERN SLOPE BOOK CLUB
Book Club Purpose Our intention is to make Tasty Reads educational, fun, enlightening, engaging–all core elements of Slow Food. We’ll be reading food-related books from varied categories– food & culture, novels, agriculture, food literature, how-to’s, food history, biography/personal stories and food & travel. The selected books serve as themes for the potlucks we have. Tasty Reads is open to all to participate, not just Slow Food members–so bring a friend if you like. And a side benefit is that the book club can attract more people into our Slow Food chapter, giving us a broader base from which to accomplish core Slow Food goals.
Book Club Locations Book Club potlucks will take place at different venues, usually homes, and be held on the second Wednesday of the month from October through April.

We have picked titles for the coming months. And we would like your input on other titles which intrigue you for our next season.
