Padma Lakshmi with Aleksandra Crapanzano – BEST MEAL EVER: FOOD & LIFE
Join celebrated food storyteller PADMA LAKSHMI as she

talks about her love of food and how that love has defined her professional life

and informed her memories. She will tell us why she decided to write about food

and share the details of memorable meals that she prepared or shared—with

parents, children, lovers or friends—and how those meals shaped her life (with

one disastrous meal thrown in for humorous measure). In conversation with 

fellow food writer ALEKSANDRA CRAPANZANO, she will talk about her food-centric

memoir and the creative intersection between writing and cooking, and

she will give us a list of her favorite cookbooks. If you love to eat and you love to

read, you will love this literary meal.
