Bon Appétit and Me: 32 Years in America’s Food Revolution

Join us on February 10th for Barbara Fairchild in conversation with Nancy Zaslavsky!

“Bon Appétit and Me: 32 Years in America’s Food Revolution”

What was it like to have a front-row seat to the biggest revolution in American food in half a century? In fact, what was it like to help create it? Barbara Fairchild knows. In her more than 30-year career at Bon Appétit magazine—including over ten years as editor-in-chief—Barbara and her team were at the forefront of finding, influencing, and reporting on the personalities, restaurants, and recipes that helped shape generations in professional and home kitchens.

About the speaker:
