Lots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. Thematic meet and greet events offer a good opportunity for that. So I made one for this month's Food Fest theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.

Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Food Fest.

>>Maybe look for cookbooks that focus on skills and techniques? Or you could choose a favorite food and get a specialty cookbook for it to learn its variations. We baked our way through a substantial portion of The Search for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie.<<

I was considering doing this for my Food Fest bingo card. I could use a new cookbook or two, and it would be a fun way to fill a square and learn some new skills.
