My love for Smitten Kitchen recipes is well documented here {her strawberry summer cake, broccoli slaw, cauliflower tacos, and granola are all staples in this house, amongst many others} so you can imagine my delight last fall when I found out that Book Larder would be hosting Deb at Town Hall on her tour for her new cookbook, Smitten Kitchen Keepers. The event was finally last week and I easily convinced Christian to tag along with me in promise of happy hour before and the conversation being hosted by Kenji Lopez-Alt, a favorite local author, chef, and overall food guru. We stopped at Cortina for happy hour and had some yummy shared plates and cocktails before the event, then walked the few blocks to Town Hall where I got to pick up my signed copy of the new book. Neither of us had been to the event space before and were in awe of how open and pretty it was - the perfect place to hold a talk like this. Deb & Kenji were both delightful to listen to for the hour plus they were on stage talking about food, picky eaters, their recipe development process, and just funny overall stories. It was so fun getting to listen to two of my faves in conversation and even more exciting to feel like we're finally getting back out in the world doing social things that my pre-pandemic self definitely took for granted. I can't wait for more events to come - and to dive into this delicious looking cookbook!
