STORIES

Since we began our convivium, you have been sending me articles, book reviews, personal stories and anecdotes, all regarding our relationship with food. I have enjoyed every one. Up until now, I had no way to share these stories. The newsletter is long enough, and I don't want to "forward" things to our whole list, no matter how interesting they are.
So, in this part of our website you will find some of the many interesting stories that come my way. I will contribute stories of my own, and hope that you will be encouraged to contribute, as well.
