Superfine restaurant in DUMBO will host
"Women Who Eat," on Nov. 19, from 7 pm to 9:30 pm.
The evening of readings will feature nine food writers who contributed
essays to "Women Who Eat: A New Generation on the Glory
of Food," edited by Leslie Miller (Seal Press, November
2003).
You won’t find a calorie counter in this group of self-titled
"flaming carnivores" and "ice cream addicts."
Instead, the writers glory in the aroma of leeks sizzling in
hot butter, savor martinis and think nothing of ordering dessert
after a three-course meal.
Brooklynites who contributed to this collection include Carroll
Gardens own Kate Sekules, the travel editor at Food & Wine
magazine, whose search for a restaurant to call home is recounted
in "On the Importance of Having a Restaurant"; New
York Times food columnist Amanda Hesser, a Brooklyn Heights resident,
who describes the anticipation of a shopping and cooking dinner-for-one
in "Fundamental Pleasures"; and journalist Lela Negi
of Williamsburg who in "Food Before Sanity" dumps her
therapist after being asked, "So you don’t like bananas?"
Superfine is at 126 Front St. between Jay and Pearl streets.
For further information, call (718) 243-9005. The event is free
and open to the public.
