About

As a revolutionary voice in the food industry, Geraldine DeRuiter dives boldly into If You Can’t Take the Heat, a clever book of essays on how food and cooking stoke the flames of her feminism. She shares stories about her adventures in gastronomy, her debilitating anxiety and how she learned to embrace her hanger (a combination of the words “hunger” and “anger” many of us are familiar with). Join us for this event with the James Beard Award-winning blogger best known for her scathing essay on misogyny in the food industry.
