SUPPORT BLACK-OWNED FOOD MEDIA: Whetstone MagazineFor The Culture Food Mag (Coming Soon)
Join an online cookbook club today!
These digital networks come together every month to cook from a specific cookbook (typically one, but sometimes more under a theme), sharing photos and stories of what was incredible, what worked and what didn't, and what lessons they're taking away. (Some cookbook clubs meet in person, too; Serious Eats has even advocated for cookbook clubs as “the new way to entertain.”)
Check out which cookbooks are being featured this month, find links to join, and see an archive of selections below:
We’re kicking off the Salt + Spine Cookbook Club with July's featured guest, author Naz Deravian, and her debut cookbook, Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories.
Join us as we cook through this book, share on social media, get a peek into Naz's process, and then come together on a Zoom Dinner Party with the author! Reserve your spot at the Dinner Party now!
Our club is hosted in collaboration with our friends at The Civic Kitchen cooking school.
Start your month by tuning in as Naz Deravian sits down with Salt + Spine host Brian Hogan Stewart to talk about her career, her cookbook, and more. (Already listened? Take this moment to re-visit the episode.)
