Cookbook Club: February 2026

Cooking Off the Beaten Path: Farther Afield

There’s nothing we love more than a good culinary adventure—and this winter, we’re traveling far and wide. With no need for passport stamps or TSA lines, we’ll explore new ingredients, traditions, and stories through richly detailed cookbooks that celebrate regional identity and personal voice.

If you can't sign up for the whole Winter 2026 season, we invite you to join chef and educator Annette Tomei for Far Afield by Shane Mitchell. 

Tuesdays, February 10 & 24, 7:30-8:30 pm ET

For anyone who values a perspective on people who prepare traditional foods and the culture they embody, Far Afield is a delight. As the author says, “Food is a way of understanding that your community is bigger than you think it is.”

One of Kitchen Arts & Letters' favorite books of this century.

Includes a copy of Far Afield, two live Zoom session (recorded in case you can't make it), activities to deepen your engagement with the book, a private online discussion group, and guest appearances from cookbook authors and culinary experts.
