NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) Research and Development Store will host a book talk "The Berkshires Farm Table Cookbook" with authors Elisa Spungen Bildner and Robert Bildner.

 

The book talk will take place on March 26, at 5 pm.

 

In this book talk, Elisa Spungen Bildner and Robert Bildner tell the story of family-run agriculture through the language of food with the new edition of The Berkshires Farm Table Cookbook.

 

According to a press release:

 

This stunning but approachable book offers more than 125 recipes to bring the magic of the Berkshires into your kitchen. Sweet Corn Pancakes, Confetti Vegetable and Goat Cheese Lasagna, Chicken Pot Pie, Cranberry Cobbler, and more celebrate the lush landscape of this western New England region. Complete with charming farm profiles and vibrant photographs, The Berkshires Farm Table Cookbook paints a vivid portrait of the relationship between the

earth and what we eat.

Following the talk, it will be hosting a dinner using ingredients from the farmers who live and work in the region. Join Casita founders Mariah and Justin Forstmann, the authors, and several of the farmers profiled in the book at 6:30 for this one-night-only menu.
