Food Politics Event with Cathy Erway Added to February Line-Up
Join us here in welcoming Cathy Erway at the Coop on Saturday afternoon, February 27th. Visiting from New York, Erway will be discussing here latest release, The Art of Eating In - How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove
This timely memoir of quitting restaurants cold turkey speaks to a new era of conscientious eating.
An underpaid, twenty-something in New York City, she was struggling to make ends meet. Though she was living in the nation's culinary capital, she decided to swear off all restaurant food. The Art of Eating In chronicles the delectable results of her twenty-four-month experiment, with thirty original recipes included.
What began as a way to save money left Erway with a new appreciation for the simple pleasure of sharing a meal with friends at home, the subtleties of home-cooked flavors, and whether her ingredients were ethically grown.
She also explored the anti-restaurant underground of supper clubs and cook-offs, and immersed herself in an array of alternative eating lifestyles from freeganism and dumpster-diving to picking tasty greens on a wild edible tour in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Erway is a lover of food of all kinds. An avid amateur cook, she decided to purge her diet from restaurant or take-out food and began blogging about it on the hugely popular blog, Not Eating Out In New York.
In between posting recipes for the busy-but-thrifty, Cathy writes about food, sustainable farming and green living at The Huffington Post, Saveur.com and Edible Brooklyn, and has written for Brooklyn Based and The L Magazine. She hosts the weekly radio show, Let's Eat In.
