 Author Talk and booksigning with Donia Bijan for her new book, Maman's Homesick Pie
When our families or homelands are out of reach, it is familiar flavors from home that connect us to our pasts, just as the local cuisine is our first doorway into understanding a new city. In Maman's Homesick Pie, Donia Bijan uses the language of food to tell her story. Donia's journey begins in Tehran where she spent her childhood playing on the grounds of her father's hospital and helping her mother prepare traditional Persian dishes, until the Islamic revolution forced her family to flee to the United States in 1978. Donia's journey continues in the US where she was seduced by fast food and designer jeans as a teenager, and then on to France where her passion for cooking led her to study at the prestigious Cordon Bleu. Ultimately, she returns to the SanFransisco Bay Area, making a name for herself as a chef and opening her own highly praised bistro, L'amie Donia. With mouthwatering recipes and integrated experience Maman's Homesick Pie gives us all of the ingredients to make a home wherever we are. Wednesday, November 2 @ 7:00pm |

| Live music in the Studio with Susan Picking Picking is an acoustic indie/folk singer songwriter from Long Beach, CA. She grew up in Michigan playing the piano and cello. When she moved out west to California she started to study voice which reawakened her interest in music. This led her to study music privately and at Long Beach City College. She started writing her own music about 5 years ago and broke into the acoustic indie folk genre. Her Irish Roots drew her to traditional Irish and Sean Nos singing which is still a great love. Her major musical influences are 70's folk rock with the likes of Carole King, James Taylor,Van Morrison, and Billy Joel. Other musical genres creep in with her overall love of music with the super Greats such as Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. Her CD Down in Your Soul, is her first release consisting of 10 songs that are spiritual in nature and about the journey of life and the lessons within.
