In 1990, Bistro Bookers was born. Under the guidance
of the B.L.O.O.M. Group (Book Lovers Of Our Metropolis) the downtown after hours book
review/discussion forum was created to encourage the discussion of current provocative
nonfiction written by national and local authors interspersed with fiction from Buffalo-area authors.
So what does it take to be part of Bistro Bookers? A
desire for a casual, uncomplicated, stimulating night out. You're invited . . . Open to
all. No reservations are required.

Book: "In Defense of Food: An Easter's Manifesto"
Author: Michael Pollan
Reviewer: Dr. Tina Colaizzo-Anas, Assistant Professor, Dietetics and Nutrition Buffalo State College
Book Summary: Pollan proposes a new answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.
