Laguna Beach Diet

The AAUW presents Brooks Carder, author of our very own Laguna Beach Diet. Similar to a Mediterranean diet, it is also adapted to the cuisines of Asia and Mexico, representing the ethnic diversity of Southern California. Recipes for simple, delicious meals make this a diet as easy to follow as to enjoy.

Kate Buckley, Poet

 

Wild Region
The poetry of local wordsmith and painter Kate Buckley is essential, sensual, and full of atmosphere and insight. The stories these poems tell will stay with you long after Ms. Buckley stops reading. 
 
She is also the recent winner of the 2008 James Hearst Poetry Prize for the North American Review.

Heather & Rose MacDowell

We're very sorry, but this event has

been cancelled due to a scheduling conflict.

Turning Tables

 
Debut novelists and sisters Rose and Heather MacDowell treat readers to a fictional feast at one of New York's poshest restaurants - perfect for fans of "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Kitchen Confidential." Essential reading if you've ever worked in (or been served) at a restaurant.
