Brewster Ladies' Library: Food for Thought: An Afternoon with the Brewster Cultural Council

Join the Brewster Cultural Council and Brewster Ladies’ Library for an afternoon of food! The first hour of our program will be a discussion with John Carafoli, cookbook author and regular contributor to Edible Cape Cod, and Nicole Cormier, RD, cookbook author and Program Coordinator of Delicious Living Nutrition. They will discuss how they became interested in working with food, the changes they’ve seen on the Cape Cod food scene, and there will be time for audience questions.

Stay for the second hour of our program to take advantage of local food vendors, including Husk Cherry Bakehouse, The Optimal Kitchen, and coffee from Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters.
