Heather\u00a0is a long-time\u00a0member of our\u00a0CSA program.\n\nShe is also the\u00a0organizer of 18\u00a0Reason\u2019s Food Lit\u00a0Book Club.\u00a0Meeting every\u00a0month since 2009,\u00a0the Food Lit Book club discusses the latest and greatest in food fiction and non\u00a0fiction over a delicious pot luck lunch. Sounds like heaven to me!\n\nHeather started the book club 5 years ago at the prompting of Celia Sack - owner of San Francisco's one of a kind food bookstore - Omnivore Books. Heather\u00a0had been obsessed with food books for a long time and had begun to frustrate\u00a0the members of her then non food themed book club by repeatedly suggesting they read books on food. So when the opportunity to lead a food focused club\u00a0through SF\u2019s 18 reasons (non profit offering community food education) was a\u00a0dream. Today, the club is going strong and regularly has food authors and innovators as guests.\n\nThe best part, according to Heather, is the sense of camaraderie. Members come\u00a0back month after month; many, for years now. Heather says the thing that keeps\u00a0folks coming back is the uniqueness of the group. It\u2019s such a treat to connect with\u00a0others who share a passion for food; getting to geek out each month on food\u00a0topics that partners, friends or coworkers might not be excited about. Plus, the\u00a0lunch is always delicious, as you might expect from a potluck populated by foodies.\n\nTo join in for the next book club sign up here! One off lunch discussions are $15\u00a0and on the 3rd sunday for every month. To join, just buy a ticket and show up.\u00a0The next meet up is January 18th 11am-1pm. This January they'll read San Francisco: A Food Biography by Erica J. Peters. Author Erica J. Peters will be joining\u00a0them.
