I witnessed a very popular olive oil tasting at a local culinary supply store. People were probably just there for the free bread but there were some folks really concerned about learning about the best. I was thinking that the library could get some local restaurant chefs or connoisseurs, with the help of some gourmet grocery stores to hold some tastings of olive oils, chocolates, coffee, tea, spices and tie it in with the cookbook collection or even some culinary mysteries. I love the concept of America’s Test Kitchen, Cook’s Illustrated, the Consumer’s Reports for food stuff. I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this but I just don’t want to forget this idea since I know so many people who are always striving to know more about food.
