“The Book and the Cook” Lunch and Discussion with Chef Ann Cooper Saturday, March 31, 12pm Big business and politics join us at the table every time we sit down to eat. Ann Cooper, in her most recent book, Bitter Harvest: A Chef's Perspective on Hidden Dangers in the Foods We Eat and What You Can Do About It, details the connections between food, history, politics, and health, and traces the path from America's widely agrarian past to our present era of bioengineered "Frankenfood." As a former Vermont American Culinary Federation Chef of the Year, a medal-winning Executive Chef of the Telluride Film Festival and other restaurants in New York and Vermont, Cooper is passionate about what we eat and works to improve health, nutrition and the future of our food. She understands that food choices can be overwhelming, but hopes to provide us with the knowledge to make informed choices about the food we eat. The White Dog plans menus to highlight what is available locally at the time of the meal. A complete menu for this event will be available as we get closer to March 31. * * * * * * * Dinner Reservations $30 includes discussion, tax, gratuity and a three course luncheon featuring White Dog's cuisine, which always highlights fresh, local, organic, humanely raised ingredients, prepared in partnership with executive chef Kevin von Klause and chef Ann Cooper. Ann Cooper's book, Bitter Harvest, will be available for sale at The Black Cat. Proceeds from this event benefit the Philadelphia Chapter of the Chefs Collaborative.
