Local chef Jameson O’Donnell will be holding a cooking demonstration at the Free Library of Philadelphia on Feb. 17, where O’Donnell will be recreating a fictional fish chowder from the novel “Orphan Train.”
The event is a part of the free library’s “One Book, One Philadelphia” project, an initiative that works in tandem with the Mayor’s Office to encourage literacy and cooperation within the Philadelphia community by discussing a single book through films, workshops, lectures and culinary exhibitions each year.
The chowder O’Donnell will be preparing, Terry’s Famous Maine Fish Chowder, gets its name from “Orphan Train,” by Christina Baker Kline, the novel selected for “One Book, One Philadelphia” this year.
The demonstration will run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Culinary Literacy Center of the Free Library. Tickets are $10.
