The Menu: The Cake Café Cookbook
Once again, Santa failed to bring The Menu a Babelfish, Douglas Adams’ piscine literary creation from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that, when popped into the ear, yields an instant translation of any language in the universe. So, nothing for it but to head to the Big Smoke for the Cookbook Club’s Language & Supper Clubs, three professionally-taught courses (French, Spanish & Italian, beginning Feb 4) in the private dining room at Dublin’s Odessa Club/Restaurant. And while you chatter and learn, you also chow down, eating an authentic dish from the traditional cuisine native to whichever language you have chosen to study — ’tis a far cry from the hedge school of The Menu’s youth, indeed! www.thecookbookclub.com
