Our December book club will look a little different! Join us on December 9th for a little pre-holiday get together. We will dive into two wonderful cookbooks - feel free to bring a dish from either book to share (finger foods or desserts, anything that is easy to eat in the shop). Making a recipe is definitely not a requirement, feel free to just join us for conversation, to chat about the books, swap recipe stories, and celebrate our book clubs - we will have snacks and treats to share!
Both of these titles also make great gifts. Make a recipe, join us, and then gift the book to a friend!
Sign up for the book club in store or by emailing us and get 10% off the purchase of the featured book.
Holiday Book Club Gathering! - Tuesday, December 9th - 6:00 - 7:00 pm
