We're Eating What?: A Memoir, Recipes, and How-To-Guide from America’s Longest-Running Gourmet Group

Brought up before it was fashionable to be dubbed a “foodie,” Shirley learned early to be adventurous in the realm of gastronomy. The enjoyment and discussion of food was celebrated in her family. Her mother loved to cook, and with her Czechoslovakian heritage she educated her family to eat dishes that were not commonly served in most American homes. This resulted in Shirley experimenting with and being captivated by foods of all ethnicities. This story builds on how Shirley spread her enthusiasm for cooking and food by initiating a gourmet group that has blossomed over almost 40 years. Foods from 41 countries and 6 continents have been sampled, but more important are the adventures and warm friendships that have resulted from this shared enjoyment of food. You will learn how you, too, can launch such a satisfying social group that can become a highlight of your life, just as it did with Shirley.
