Mark Kurlansky is a James Beard Award-winning writer whose books span fiction and non-fiction but share food-related subjects, with titles like Salt, Milk, and Salmon. He'll talk about his latest novel Cheesecake, which takes place entirely on the Upper West Side, and follows a Greek coffee shop facing rent increases that adds an ancient Roman recipe to its menu. Acclaim, imitators, and competition follow.
