Longing to travel again? Looking for new recipe inspiration? You’re in the right place! One of our team’s favorite ways to learn about new cuisines and flavors is through travel, and since we’re limited this year, we thought we’d try exploring in a new way.

You’re officially invited to join us for our first ever summer cookbook club, where we’ll learn about a new global cuisine each month.

The Official Lineup

  • June: Vietnamese Food Any Day, by Andrea Nguyen (buy a signed copy from us and get a travel postcard and a playlist compiled by Andrea herself!)
  • July: TBD (announced June 19)
  • August: TBD (announced July 22)

Live Cooking Demos

Every Thursday at 11am PST, a different member from our team will be doing a live cooking demo on Instagram. Mark your calendar so you don’t forget, and join us there! On Sunday morning, we’ll send out an email announcing what the weekly live recipe will be (make sure you’re signed up as part of the cookbook club to receive these emails), so you’ll have time to gather your ingredients. If you’d like to cook along with us, great, or you may just want to pop in and see how it’s done!

Author Interviews, Ingredient Spotlights and More!

Each week you can expect a new email ranging from an introduction to the month’s cuisine, a great author interview, spice profile, product profile and more!

Cookbook Club Posts You May Have Missed

Cook On Your Own & Share With the Club!

Even if you can’t make the live events, we’d love it if you try the week’s recipe on your own time and share (OR any other recipe from the book you’re excited about). If you’re comfortable sharing a photo on social media (Instagram or Facebook), show us what you’re cooking and be sure to tag #summercookbookclub so we can all follow along. 

I’m In! Where Should I Buy My Books?

We’re partnering with Beach Books, an independent bookstore in Seaside OR, to ship SIGNED copies right to your door. With your book purchase, you’ll also receive:

  • Charming travel postcard designed in-house
  • Collection of each author’s favorite music to play in the kitchen
  • Free shipping
  • The chance to support an independent bookstore

Let’s Learn Together!

We can’t wait to learn more about new flavors and approaches to food this summer, and we’re really excited to cook right along with you!
