It’s hard to ignore something so bold; So I must let you know about an event where two of my favorite things collide (The Economist magazine and French cooking).
The Economist has paired with Chef David Bouley for an exclusive dinner party called ‘Food for Thought’; an event to celebrate the release of the book ‘An Edible History of Humanity’ by the magazine’s business editor, Tom Standage. The evening will feature a customized three-course menu, cocktails and conversation between Bouley and Standage. The menu will explore many of the themes in the newly released book.
