A Culinary & Literary Adventure Book Club
About this Event

Eat Their Words is a food-focused book club featuring literature and memoirs written by chefs, foodies, and other food lovers, where the content of the book is curated into a culinary experience by our Eat Their Words Chef, Toni Camphouse, with guest chefs, bakers, and restauranteurs included in the mix.

Each month, we will read a book and discuss it during an evening event where the book is brought to life through a custom food experience, special meal, and drinks pairing.

Monday, April 13, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. For April, we're reading at eating by Thornton Wilder.

$45-$75 sliding scale includes dinner and drinks inspired by Our Town, and book club activities and discussion. Participants can source a copy of, or through the library.

*Add on program for April: Hive Salon Series: How To Read A Play. Join us on Sunday, April 12 to read Our Town by Thornton Wilder, together.

Eat Their Words Book Club is held Hive Center for the Book Arts at 840 Custer in Evanston.
