Co-editor of The Edible City: Toronto's Food from Farm to Fork (as well as several other Coach House uTOpia volumes), Christina Palassio, will be at the Mount Pleasant branch of the Toronto Public Library as part of their fall fair.
At an event co-sponsored by the Culinarium, Palassio will speak about the book The Edible City, and about Toronto as a city of food.
With the Toronto Board of Health having just formally adopted a new city-wide food strategy, the timing is perfect for a truly cross-disciplinary discussion that explores the past, present, and future of food and the city. What’s more, as a multi-cultural, Green Belt-surrounded, food-processing hub, Toronto is particularly rich in infrastructural opportunities and challenges, as well as creative individuals-- the perfect place to bring people together for a fresh look at the city, through the lens of food.
Edible City contributors Kathryn Borel Jr. and Erik Rutherford read as part of a special food-themed edition of the Toronto Reading Series. Also on the night's bill: Dr. Joey Schulman (Healthy Sin Food) and Rick Gallop (The 2010 Revised G.I. Diet).
The Toronto Reading Series presents dinner and readings. Come for a reading and enjoy dessert and coffee at intermission. Each event features 3 authors and terrific door-prizes plus great book giveaways and book signings.

June is LGBTQ Pride Month, and you know Coach House (unlike some mayors) is keen to celebrate that fact. Coach House has published some of Canada's finest queer writers for decades, but our June Marriage Equality Sale is a little bit different. Instead of focusing on our gay and lesbian writers, we're celebrating marriage equality.
