Pleasure. Sustenance. Family. Culture. Science. These are just some of the topics to be addressed at tonights roundtable discussion, What We Talk About When We Talk About Food. Hear what it means to a troupe of Seattle authorsall with new books outto think and write about cuisine. Perhaps the biggest name on the bill is Ethan Stowell (Ethan Stowells New Italian Kitchen), the chef and owner of four highly rated restaurants including How to Cook a Wolf. Youll also hear from the creators of Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef (Shauna and Danny Ahern), as well as Greg Atkinson (Northwest Essentials) and Kim ODonnel (The Meatlovers Meatless Cookbook). These professional gourmands will gather for a casual discussion, with wine and apps. Ask them anything you like. Even the moderator, Amy Pennington, has a book out, Urban Pantry, where she talks about that hot new old-fashioned fad, canning. ADRIANA GRANT
