Cooking and Conversation

Adventures in eating and thinking about food!

We are glad to announce the formation of a new student food group at the University of Chicago. We are planning to meet weekly, alternating opportunities to cook and eat with cooking and discussion of issues relating to food and culture.

Our plans to date include conversations about sustainability, baking bread, meeting with cookbook authors, making soup, considering foodways from a gendered perspective and uncovering some of the food treasures of Chicagoland.

Join us for tea and cookies at our planning meeting will be taking place on Thursday December 5th at 8pm.



Our first official meeting, featuring chocolate fondue and mulled cider will be on Thursday January 8th, 2009.
