Consumption Book Club

​Consumption Book Club is where literature meets the dinner table. Each event centers on one book exploring a form of consumption—from food to fashion to futures. We’ll dig into these themes through guided discussions and embodied activities while working through a tasting menu inspired by the book itself. Feed your consumer habits with things that will actually leave you satisfied: community, connection, and cuisine.

​This gathering will dive into Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang, exploring overconsumption, desire, and decadence without destroying the planet. You’ll leave full of thoughts and delicious foods, and with a zine full of recipes, art, and resources for reimagining what it means to consume. Come hungry.

​No pressure if you haven't finished the book—we'll start with quiet reading time to digest curated excerpts before the meal begins at 7pm. Your vegetarian tasting menu includes thoughtfully-paired wines (with non-alcoholic options) throughout the evening.
