If you happen to be in LA this weekend, you might want to make your way to the UCLA campus for the Los Angeles Times sponsored Festival of Books on Saturday and Sunday.
While the book festival as a whole is exciting, there are a few things that are of special interest to me as a Slashfoodie. On Saturday at 10:00 AM, there's a panel called "Food Fight: When Did Eating Get Controversial?" that will feature Marion Nestle (What to Eat), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemna) and Barry Glassner (The Gospel of Food). On both days, there will be a series of chef demos on stage, and I plan on going Saturday to see Govind Armstrong, Dave Lieberman, Cat Cora, and Ted Allen (all of whose books are pictured above). Sunday will feature Martin Yan, Barbara Fairchild, Nancy Silverton, and Lidia Bastianich. All of these chefs have books, which will be available at the event.
