Food for Thought Online Book Group features author Steve Hoffman and French cooking Sept. 18

The Food for Thought Online Book Group will host an online event featuring author Steve Hoffman on September 18, 2025, from 7 to 9 p. m. Hoffman’s memoir, A Season for That, tells the story of an American family adapting to life in southern France, providing a unique perspective on cultural integration. After the discussion, participants will explore regional cuisine through Paula Wolfert’s acclaimed cookbook, The Cooking of Southwest France. This free event requires prior registration to receive a Zoom link, with reminder emails sent 24 hours in advance.

Late registrants can find the link in their confirmation emails. By combining literature and cooking, the event seeks to foster community engagement and cultural appreciation. The initiative reflects a growing trend of online events that connect people through shared interests. Such gatherings not only enrich local culture but also allow for diverse interactions in a virtual space.
