In May, the Book Smart Book Club will meet on the 2nd to discuss Cooked by Michael Pollan, call number 641.5 Po.

From the bestselling author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and The Botany of Desire, Pollan explores the uncharted territory of his own kitchen. Here, he discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements–fire, water, air, and earth–to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink.

The Book Smart Book Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 2:00 p.m. in the Language, Literature and History Section of the Hawaii State Library. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries about the Book Club can be directed to booksmartbookclub@gmail.com or 808-586-3499.
