Food for Thought Book Club. This month’s Food for Thought Book Club at the Doylestown Book Club will focus on the book PawPaw: In Search of America’s Forgotten Fruit by Andrew Moore.
The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance.
Historically, it fed and sustained Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved African-Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic grower’s dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive, and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer agents yet discovered.
So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one?
The book also takes a look at how America’s economic, biological and cultural forces combined impact what we eat and why we ignore some of the delicious foods growing around the world. The book club meets at the Doylestown Food Co-Op and any guests are welcome to join. Everyone meets at 6:15 pm. Learn more about the book club here.
Diet and Heart Health. Join Jill Kwasny at the Yardley McCaffrey’s Food Markets to review the latest dietary recommendations to maximize your heart health. She will help you explore whether you need to tweak the fats in your diet, and she will teach you about the optimal amount of animal versus vegetable protein that is recommended for good health. Also, discover new ways to include ancient grains in your diet to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake. The demonstration is from 10 – 11 am on Thursday, February 16. When you’re done, take what you’ve learned and shop around McCaffrey’s for some nutritious foods.
Grazing plates at Hamilton’s Grill Room. Hamilton’s Grill Room is now serving small dishes and grazing plates from its winter dinner menu. A selection of entrées from the dinner menu is available in grazing portions, served on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Enjoy their braised short ribs, grilled steaks, and grilled seafood in smaller portions, perfect for sharing. Reserve online with Open Table or call 609.397.4343.

A country club? We were skeptical too. But after a superb meal in the Jericho National Golf Club’s restaurant and meeting Chef Verdine Hurt, we were hooked. What a perfect place for a Bucks County Taste Dinner Club event!
