In celebration of her new memoir, Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics, join nutrition and food studies pioneer Dr. Marion Nestle in conversation with journalist and author Laura Shapiro, as she reflects on her late-in-life career as a world-renowned food politics expert, public health advocate, and a founder of the field of food studies after facing decades of low expectations.

In her engrossing memoir, Marion Nestle reflects on how she achieved unexpected success as a leading advocate for healthier and more sustainable diets. Slow Cooked recounts how she built an unparalleled career at a time when few women worked in the sciences, and how she came to recognize and reveal the enormous influence of the food industry on our dietary choices.


Copies of Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics are available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our partners Kitchen Arts & Letters.
