Cookbook Club – Bouchon; Around My French Table Fiona and Anthony hosted a bonus event this month, featuring French food and friends!

Cookbook Club – Appetites: A Cookbook This year we lost a titan of the food world, so in Anthony Bourdain’s memory we used his Appetites: A Cookbook for our October Cookbook Club.

Cookbook Club – Salt Fat Acid Heat For September’s Cookbook Club, we used Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat. I’d call it more of a book about cooking than a cookbook… you don’t actually get to the recipes until the second half of the book, but the first half is full of information essential…
Sunflower Cookies
Cookbook Club – The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen For our regular August Cookbook Club event, we used The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen by Sean Sherman.

Cookbook Club – Eat Mexico In July, we used Lesley Tellez’s Eat Mexico for our Cookbook Club. I was really happy we were trying a type of cuisine our club hadn’t cooked yet.

Mustard Batons
Cookbook Club – doriegreenspan.com For February’s Cookbook Club, we used a blog instead of a cookbook – https://doriegreenspan.com. I made the Mustard Batons. You can check out our whole Dorie dinner on my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! I had an event to go to before the Cookbook Club party, so I will…
