Blog readers - if you search that memory of yours, you may remember a little thing called a "book". Coming back to you yet? Well, if you want to revisit paper in all of its glory, check out the Food Book Fair that's hitting town on May 4 through 6. The event will bring together authors like Gael Green (who will discuss food porn), Marion Nestle and April Bloomfield. The event will be held at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg and you can check out the lineup of panel discussions here.

If you didn't get to go to City Harvest's epic fundraiser this week, you can still help the charitable organization raise some funds to feed the hungry - all you have to do is skip lunch. The week of May 14 is the charity's annual "Skip Lunch Fight Hunger" Fundraiser, in which participants are encouraged to donate the money that the would normally spend on their mid day meal top help feed the city's hungry. This year's fundraising goal is an ambitious $550K - if you want to join the cause, get info here.
