Culinary History Reading Group

This reading group began meeting at Motte & Bailey in July of 2009, reading books about any aspect of culinary history.  Books for the next meeting are determined at the end of each meeting, and members are encouraged to bring books to suggest or simply to show before the meeting. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month.

See our Book Events page for our current book and meeting times.

A small number of copies of each month's book are available at the shop.

To join the group or learn more, please contact us at 734.669.0451 or motte [at] mottebooks [dot] com. Directions are here.
