I can't recall a month with more spectacular culinary programs and special events than this August. In fact, for the entire month of August the Commonwealth Club is hosting their Bay Gourmet series called "How We Eat" with what must be a record-breaking 31 events! The events actually begin tomorrow, the last day of July. It includes dinners, demonstrations, panel discussions, authors, chefs, nutritionists and more.
If you've never seen the Hungry Planet book (now out in paperback), do check out this online slideshow.
Here are a few programs that particularly caught our eye. Check out the entire schedule online.
