The book will only be available for purchase through A Southern Season Dec. 6 through 24.
Caribbean Christmas
Durham's Blu Seafood and Bar has a couple of intriguing dinners on the horizon:
Tonight at 7 p.m., the restaurant is holding an Allagash beer dinner, offering four courses and beers for $39. The menu will feature Maine-inspired fare, because Allagash is based there.
At 7 p.m. Dec. 16, chef Tim Lyons will offer a Key West Christmas dinner. Four courses of Caribbean food and wine will cost $45.
Bermuda shorts and flip-flops are encouraged, manager Eryk Pruitt said.
Blu Seafood and Bar is at 2002 Hillsborough Road. Call 286-9777 to make a reservation.
Greek salsa
Xios Authentic Greek Cuisine of Apex is offering free salsa dance lessons on Saturday starting at 9 p.m. Those who come for dinner will not have to pay the $5 cover charge. The lessons last until 10 p.m. and then a deejay will help folks dance the night away.
The restaurant is at 800 W. Williams St., off N.C. 55.
