Dames Who Read

The Les Dames d'Escoffier DC book club met in February at the home of Susan Barocas with special guest Abbie Rosner to discuss her book, Breaking Bread in the Galilee: A Journey into the Promised Land. This fascinating book provided recipes for a delicious dinner and, with Abby's participation, an especially stimulating and insightful conversation about foraging and other ancient foodways in the modern world, food as a bridge to one's own culture and to relationships with others, and baal agriculture that relies solely on climate and rain in seasonal cycles. ​
