Culinary Historians of Northern California

The first 2010 event for the Culinary Historians of Northern California (CHoNC). I'd say the year is off to a fantastic start!

If you haven't treated yourself to a CHoNC event, you really need to. Erica organizes some pretty amazing speakers on topics such Food, Culture, and Community to The history of Sensory Science, and our favorite, Thy Tran's South by Southeast Asia: Tamales of the Philippines and Guam - also featured at our 2009 A Taste of Tamales by the Bay.

Cold weather and rain make the next event, which is next Thursday, especially appealing:

Speaker: William Rubel, author of The Magic of Fire: Hearth Cooking.
Topic: In Smoke and Shadow: The Samburu of Northern Kenya and their Smoke-Flavored Milk
Date: Thursday, Feb. 11th, 2010
Time: 5:30-7 pm
Location: CSU East Bay, Oakland campus
Address: 1000 Broadway, Suite 109 (entrance on 11th St.)
Phone: (510) 208-7001

Directions: http://www.ce.csueastbay.edu/businessservices/conference_facilities/directions.shtml
Note: BART is nearby, as are many parking garages. Avoid parking right under the CSU Center, as that garage closes at 7pm.

If you're up for it, join the group as they head out for an informal dinner after the talk (what's a group of food lovers to do!) Please let Erica know by Monday February 8, 2010 if you think you might want to join the group.
