One Book, One Community 2021 Book Raffle
Book Cover
Picking up where the group left off after events were canceled in 2020 due to the global pandemic, this year's One Book, One Community committee selection is Buttermilk Graffiti: A Chef's Journey to Discover America's New Melting Pot Cuisine, highlighting the connection between our multicultural society and the food we grow, prepare and eat.
Written by award-winning chef Edward Lee, Buttermilk Graffiti explores the intersection of food and culture as Lee takes a trip across America, experiencing exceptional food in unconventional places.
The book has been named a Best Food Book of the Year by the Boston Globe, Smithsonian, BookRiot and Plate. It was also a semifinalist in the 2018 Goodreads Choice Awards.
Lee will also visit campus for a public presentation and book signing Thursday, Oct. 7. Details on the event location and ticket access will be released soon. For more details, please visit onebook.uark.edu.
There is an ongoing raffle for copies of the book open for students! If you missed us at HillFest, sign up here to get on the raffle list and to receive emails about this year's events: https://uark.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4NPcIhDYwn289Jc
