A program/book party here at the distillery on Thursday, May 23 for Michael Pollan's new book Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation . Pollan will join Davia Nelson of NPR's Kitchen Sisters in conversation, and will be on-hand afterwards to sign books and do bone luges (just kidding about that last part).

Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore and Community Grains are co-hosting; bites will be provided by Oliveto Restaurant,

Let's Be Frank, Bi-Rite Market, and Mr. Espresso.

UPDATE: The guest list to this event is full.
