Cookbook Club online event: Sunday 14th July, 8.30 - 9.30am
Discussing the cookbooks of and about Italy
A digital meet-up for us all to share thoughts and book recommendations on this month’s cookbook club theme: books we love on all aspects and regions of Italian food, cookery and food culture. Our discussion is going to be about the genre, rather than a particular book.
The format is basically like any other book club gathering where the members share thoughts, ideas and opinions - just with food and cookbooks at its heart (and therefore even better). We want this to be an hour of lovely, relaxed, insightful cookbook conversation.
When and where
On: Sunday 14th July, 8.30am - 9.30am BST
We are meeting online via Zoom. The session will be recorded and (probably) made available for the wider The Kitchen Bookshelf community to watch back. If you would rather it wasn't, then please do let me know.

What are we talking about?
The meet-up is focussed on this month’s cookbook club theme: books we love on all aspects and regions of Italian food, cookery and food culture
They could be old books (maybe really old…), or newly published ones … in Italian or English …. household names or more hidden voices … I’ll be sharing some of my faves and really can’t wait to discover more through yours.
What do I need to do to prepare?
It is not essential to have cooked something to talk about. This meet-up is for sharing thoughts about books more broadly rather than a particular book or set of dishes.
What will the format be?
I will do general hello’s and talk a little about the theme. Then it is over to you. I will be encouraging lots of open conversation so please do come with ideas of books you love and why. If there’s a book or author you really want to make sure you get the chance to talk about then you can let me know that ahead of time.
Who is coming?
This meet-up is only for paid subscribers to The Kitchen Bookshelf. Places are limited to ensure we are not too large a group for comfortable conversation.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you there.
