September Brain Food: Fall Morsels to Fuel You

Wait…whoa. Was that summer in the rearview mirror?

As the Dog Days roll into September, the heat is on at TARRA with nonstop events, programming and newness around every corner.

I know September is overwhelming as the less structured days of summer give way to school drop-offs, events, work trips and sporting events at every turn. However, I hope you see this delivery of Brain Food as your permission slip to make a cup of tea and explore some fresh finds to feed that big, beautiful mind of yours.

Stay tuned for more announcements to come this fall. From our 5th Annual Summit to exclusive member events, the fall lineup at TARRA is packed!

A Bitter Pill to Swallow

It might be considered controversial, but bitterness is by far one of my favorite flavors. I prefer dark dark chocolate, a rich cup of espresso, the bite of magenta radicchio in a salad or a crimson Negroni over anything sweet. Now that fall is here, I’ll be back at the stove, determined and dangerous with the new 80-recipe “Bitter” cookbook from UK-based Alexina Anatole. She designed this collection to help readers befriend bitterness, and with titles like Lamb Chops with Pickled Walnut Ketchup and Negroni Pavlovas, I’m fully sold.
