Join us at our house for a community potluck and to hear author Rynn Berry speak.

Mr. Berry is the historical adviser to the North American Vegetarian Society, on the Advisory Board of Earth Save, and a lecturer at the new School for Social Research in New York City. He is giving a
series of talks on raw foods based on the new book that he has co-authored with Brenda
Davis and Vesanto Melina, "Becoming Raw: The Essential Guide to Raw Vegan Diets."

Come listen to him talk to us about the history of raw foods while eating raw foods! Please bring one of your favorite vegan, raw dishes to share, along with a list of the ingredients (helpful for those who have allergies or other special dietary needs). We will provide plates, utensils, and napkins, so no need to bring your own. There will also be plenty of fresh water on hand.

We'll lay out all of the dishes everyone brings, start a buffet line in the kitchen and settle down in the living room to hear Rynn's talk. He will be bringing some copies of his books if you are interested in purchasing a signed copy.

Mr. Berry is author of five additional books, including "Food for the Gods" and "Famous Vegetarians", and is in pre-press with a book called "Fruits of Tantalus: A History of Vegan Rawfoodism and the Origins of Cooking". He is the author of the entry on the history of vegetarianism in the United States in the forthcoming "Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink". He is a well known lecturer on these and related topics, and has spoken in venues around the world. Click here for more details about Mr. Berry.

If you cannot make it on Sunday, he will be speaking on Saturday, August 28th at 7 pm in Durham. Click here for more details.
