Jet Wine Bar
1525 South StreetJoin us for July Cookbook Club to explore Third Culture Cooking by Zaynab Issa. This month, we're bringing our roving party to the garden at Jet Wine Bar—with many thanks to them for hosting! The rain date will be August 4.
Cookbook Club is an potluck event where everyone contributes a dish from the selected book. Here's how it works:
1) You purchase your ticket(s) from this page, with or without a copy of the book.* (We highly encourage book sharing and use of libraries! You can also buy from Bookshop.org, which supports the shop and ships to your door.)
*Please note the process to include a book with your purchase has changed! Select the $5 "Ticket + Book" option; you can then add the book to your cart after clicking "Checkout."
2) One week before the event, we'll send out a Google Doc with a set number of slots per category by which the book is organized. Each person will claim a slot with the recipe of their choice. This ensures a good spread and a cross-section of all the book has to offer!
3) On event day, you'll bring your dish to the venue, prepared to feast. We'll talk about our experience cooking and eating from the book, and leave with lots of great tips and new friends.
Space is limited! If the event sells out, please do add yourself to the waitlist. You'll be the first to know if spots become available. To receive updates about future Cookbook Clubs (hosted monthly)—make sure you're on our mailing list.
ABOUT THIRD CULTURE COOKING
Third Culture cooking is American cooking: Delicious everyday multicultural recipes, borrowing from our parents and their parents' homes, melding the old with the new and the familiar with the unfamiliar to create bold flavors and new classics for the next generation of cooks.
The food that author Zaynab Issa cooks--inspired by her East African and South Asian roots, the American suburban delights she grew up eating, and her international travels--is packed with unique and flavorful riffs.
Her affectionate homages to the chain restaurants we love are reflected here: fluffy cinnamon rolls that rival Cinnabon's, Baskin Robbins-inspired almond fudge squares, and an artichoke dip that recalls TGI Fridays' delights that will make you want to stay in.
To complete the collection, Zaynab looked to her primary inspiration, the women who've fed her, and meticulously recorded her favorite traditional dishes from each of them.
Beyond the recipes, Zaynab shares her tips on establishing yourself as a confident cook--one who prepares food consciously, hosts with pride, and is never without a well-stocked pantry.
