Brookline Eats: Chitrita Banerji
|
|
|
|
TUESDAY, May 15 at 7 PM
|
|
For Chitrita Banerji food has been the primary medium of storytelling. It is a story about the land she comes from, far from the land where she now lives. It is a story of a region which is extraordinarily blessed with natural plenty, a rich language and culture, and a culinary tradition that is at once delicate and potent. At this event, Chitrita will discuss the history of spices in Indian class, cuisine, and economy.

MEET STAFF PETS
|
|
Willoughby and Emmett
|
|
What you call them every day other than their name: Wubs and Em&Em.
|
|
A favorite quirk in their behavior: Willoughby is a cuddler (even though he's 50 pounds). Emmett puts toys in his mouth and then plays soccer with a ball.
|
|
Favorite sleeping spot: Willoughby picks the couch on a pile on blankets and a pillow under his head, while Emmett sticks to Hope's dad's chair in the living room (it's really Emmett's chair now).
|
|
|
Can they do a trick? Emmett can give you hugs when you pick him up.
