Join us for our next Dames Who Read: Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors, by Lizzie Collingwood, serves up a delectable history of Indian cuisine, including the imperial kitchen of the Mughal invader Babur to the smoky cookhouse of the British Raj. In this fascinating volume, Collingham reveals that almost every well-known Indian dish is the product of a long history of invasion and the fusion of food traditions. This rescheduled discussion, led by Sheila Crye, will be held in person at her home, where she’ll be serving a not-too-spicy Indian dinner.
Tuesday, February 20. Dinner starts at 7 p.m. Sheila’s address is 2909 Woodstock Ave., Silver Spring. Please RSVP to Sheila at [email protected] by Sunday, February 16. You can also join us by Zoom if you prefer. The Zoom discussion will begin at 7:30.
