Cookbook Club

Two Outstanding Cookbooks, One Delicious Event

By: Erin Byers Murray

We’re gathering the Cookbook Club and we’d love to see you there!

What’s the most fun part of being in a cookbook club? For me, it’s tasting the recipes! We’re taking our digital club offline this August to gather in person at Fearrington Village in North Carolina and taste a few of the incredible recipes featured in two recently released cookbooks. Over the course of two days, chef Melissa M. Martin of Mosquito Supper Club in New Orleans, and North Carolina journalist and author Von Diaz will be discussing their cookbooks during an intimate cocktail hour and a luncheon—meaning you’ll get to meet the authors and learn about what went into telling their stories. Not familiar with their cookbooks? There’s a bit about each of them below. And as a member of the Cookbook Club, don’t forget that you get a 15% discount on tickets by using the code: cookthebook15. (Look for the “hidden tickets” link.)
