Kerrytown BookFest welcomes two authors and a photographer who will make you very hungry. At 12 p.m. author Jaye Beeler and photographer Dianne Carroll Burdick will talk about their new book, “Tasting and Touring Michigan’s Homegrown Food”, and do a cooking demonstration from recipes in their book.
“Tasting and Touring Michigan’s Homegrown Food: A Culinary Road Trip” includes photographs from the book, published by Arbutus Press. The process of making this book took one year to make, 8000 photographs to shoot, over 150 assignments to cover, over 2000 miles to travel and hours and hours of editing and processing. The book entertains, enlightens and educates people about the wonderful healthy foods of Michigan. The photographs in this collection shows-off the wonders from the fields, orchards, water, dairy barns, kitchens, markets and gardens of Michigan.
Then at 2 p.m. Editor Jane Shallal will do a cooking demonstration based on the book, “Ma Baseema: Chaldean Middle Eastern Cooking with a Chaldean Flair. Just sit back and enjoy the demonstrations that will make your mouth water.
Both cooking demonstrations are in Hollander’s Kitchen, located in the Kerrytown Shops which are adjacent to the Farmers’ Market.
