Trumbull County Reads October 2024
The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library's annual countywide reading initiative this fall will explore how cultures and communities are connected by the traditions, the innovations, and the stories shared through food.Trumbull County Reads 2024 will feature Yes, Chef: A Memoir by Marcus Samuelsson with Veronica Chambers. The book chronicles Samuelsson's journey from his grandmother's kitchen to becoming an acclaimed chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and philanthropist. It begins with a simple ritual: Every Saturday afternoon, a boy who loves to cook walks to his grandmother's house and helps her prepare a roast chicken for dinner. The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations.
A variety of book discussions, cooking demonstrations, and more learning experiences related to the food and family themes found in the book will take place at libraries during October.
