We're excited to announce the launch of a brand new club in town - ours! Simple, Good, and Tasty - in partnership with the good folks at Mississippi Market Co-op in St. Paul, MN - is launching a book club focused on local, organic, sustainable, fair trade, healthy food books (we can think of about a thousand to start). We think a book club and discussion is a fantastic way to engage the community and get people talking about food in our families, our culture, our homes, and our markets.

For our first book, we've chosen Michael Pollan's brand spanking new "Food Rules." It's a short, excellent read, focused on the ways that traditional cultures and practices can help us eat right. Example food rules include:

• #20: It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car.
  
• #39: Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.

Michael Pollan is a terrific starting point for anyone, and "Food Rules" is incredibly engaging, informative, and entertaining - it's an easy conversation starter, perfect for our first book club discussion.

Here are the details:

• What: Simple, Good, and Tasty's book club, in partnership with Mississippi Market
• When: February 25, from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
• Where:  Mississippi Market Co-op, Selby Community Room, 622 Selby Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104
• Cost: Free, except for the book (you provide that yourself). Snacks provided by the co-op.
• Register: By calling the co-op directly at 651-310-9499 or 651-690-0507. Space is limited. See you there!

We're also working at putting book notes and talking points online so you can host your own Simple, Good, and Tasty book club wherever you are. Please contact us at info@simplegoodandtasty.com for more information.
