This week I had the pleasure of attending my first Books and Bites class at Harmon’s Cooking School. They teamed up with Weller Books and started this fabulous food book club series that couples a food or travel books with complementing foods. The book we read was Cheesemonger by Gordon Edgar, which is a fabulous memoir on his life as a cheese associate in San Francisco. We actually skyped the author himself into the class and got to ask him questions as we munched on a variety of cheese hors d’oeuvres made by the Harmon’s Chef.
If you’re a reader, like me, and enjoy taking a journey to new places or new foods through reading, you will love these classes at Harmon’s. They have several ideas brewing for the next Books and Bites class including Blood Bones and Butter by Garbielle Hamilton, a book I just recently devoured. I hope to stay up to date with my food reading through these classes!
Harmon’s also offers a variety of cooking classes which you can view on their website, HarmonsGrocery.com/Cooking-School/
I love Harmons and have been wanting to try out their cooking schools for ages. Thanks for the information!
This is such a great idea! How does the book part of it work–do you start the book as part of the class, or do you need to have read it beforehand? Thanks.
I think you could do either depending on how far in advance you sign up for the class. I would recommend reading it before or at least reading some of it!
This sounds like a fun girls’ night out–definitely going to have to try it!
I agree!! Perfect girls-night-out or date night if you’re date likes food books
I’m definitely going to check their calendar! This is great, thanks!!
