Join us for a fall gathering filled with good food and conversation with foodie and amateur chef, Stephanie Rose and your community. This is a potluck-style event with every attendee choosing a recipe from the cookbook to share with the group. The event is limited to 12 participants and purchase of the cookbook at Books Around the Corner confirms your place on the list. After the event is full we will form a waitlist. If you have any questions please email info@booksaroundthecorner.com We will be cooking out of Sheet Pan Suppers by Molly Gilbert ($16.95) . Order your copy today. Prepayment required.
