Organizer of Anne Willan -- Women in the Kitchen
A Cook's Tour of Sacramento explores our regions neighborhoods, breweries, eateries, wineries, museums, bookstores, theaters, art venues and other cultural spaces. The places, people, spaces and stories that link to history and create community. When guidelines, weather, and vaccines allow we’ll meet in person. We’re planning some virtual get togethers too as members hit the road and introduce us to the spaces and places around the region, country, or world they visit. All include an opportunity for us to explore new venues and get to know each other better. Days and times vary. Some costs involved for food, drink or entry.
Maryellen Burns, Dan Cross and Lawrence Fox have led A Cook’s Tour for several years. Maryellen is a historian and author/editor of books and articles on food, culture and regional history. Dan is a seasoned traveler who knows how to find the hidden places most of us didn’t know existed. Larry is our art and travel maven.
