LEARN
Food unites us all, both globally and within our own Greenwich community. And it brings people together, whether it’s concern for the source and sustainability of our supplies to the simple pleasure of meal preparation and sitting down to a family dinner. This spring, Greenwich Library will engage patrons in exploring our relationship with and the future of food – from a historical, environmental, technological and very personal perspective with notable visits from Chef Edward Lee and more.
