If we truly care about climate change, we need to change the way we eat on a daily basis.
“Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” author and chef Samin Nosrat and best-selling author and essayist Jonathan Safran Foer will be tackling this subject at a high-spirited discussion and rare public appearance on Sept. 24 in Berkeley.
Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM and hosted by Sherry Gendelman, the event will be centered around Foer’s new work of non-fiction, “We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 288 pages), which debuts Sept. 17. Nosrat, author of the James Beard Award-winning “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” and star of the Netflix docu-series by the same name, has been called “the next Alice Waters.”
“We Are the Weather” is the follow-up to Foer’s ground-breaking 2009 memoir and investigation, “Eating Animals,” which explores the moral and philosophical dimensions of food, dining habits and how our farming habits have become harmful to our environment and dangerous to our bodies.
Tickets to the event are $12 in advance or $15 at the door and can be purchased at your local independent bookstore or here. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at the First Congregational Church of Berkeley at 2345 Channing Way in Berkeley. For more information about the event, click here.
