Cookbook Club July 2026: Linger
From Every Shore: Our Immigrant Roots
This summer marks 250 years of the United States. Our three books honor that anniversary through the food immigrants brought with them, adapted, and made American—guided by Chef Annette Tomei, culinary instructor and food historian, whose research centers on the immigrant foodways of New York City and the Lower East Side in particular.
If you can't sign up for the whole Summer 2026 season, we invite you to join the club for one month as everyone enjoys Linger: Salads, Sweets, and Stories to Savor by Hetty Liu McKinnon.
Meets on Zoom, Tuesdays, July 14 & 28, 7:00–8:30 pm ET.
Salads may be casual, but Linger is intentional. From the way Hetty Liu McKinnon builds a dressing—cutting olive oil with water to avoid bitterness—to the way she gathers friends for meals that span cultures, seasons, and courses, this is a book about thoughtful, shared food.
There are recipes here for slow, generous days and for the kinds of weeknights that turn into something more. McKinnon writes with a voice that’s open, warm, and chatty—but never cluttered. The book invites you in without overexplaining, encouraging improvisation while offering a foundation of smart, confident technique.
A wide-ranging, vegetarian collection that travels easily from kitchen to dining room, Linger is built for the kind of meals that nourish conversation as much as they feed hunger.
