Join us for our first virtual Cookbook Club event! Taking place on May 14 at Noon E.T., you don’t want to miss Behind The Recipes: In conversation with Chef Nina Compton and Osayi Endolyn, co-authors of Kwéyòl / Creole: Recipes, Stories, and Tings From a St Lucian Chef’s Journey.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn what goes into creating and producing a cookbook, now’s your chance! TLP Editor in Chief, Erin Byers Murray is getting together with Nina, chef of New Orleans restaurants Compère Lapin and Bywater American Bistro, as well as her collaborator Osayi, for our first Cookbook Club virtual conversation. They’re going to chat about all that went into making Nina’s first cookbook—from how they sifted through her life story to how they selected the recipes and what it meant to travel for their research for Kwéyòl / Creole. Expect to get the scoop on how their individual personal journeys contributed to the project. We’ll also get Nina’s tips and suggestions for how to cook your way through the book and hear the stories behind some of her favorite recipes.
If you are a member of The Local Palate Cookbook Club, this event is FREE to you! Use the code and link provided in your exclusive cookbook club email. You can also bundle your free ticket with a copy of Kwéyòl / Creole.
