The Book Stall

The Book Stall is thrilled to welcome back to the store John Kanell for a moderated discussion featuring his newest cookbook, Preppy Kitchen Everyday Baking: Because It's Always Time for Dessert! These recipes are designed for everyday baking—easy to start, hard to resist, and always worth it.
The ticket price is $38.50 and includes a copy of the book. There will be a photo-op and Mr. Kanell will be happy to sign his works!
At its heart, Preppy Kitchen Everyday Baking is about reclaiming the joy of baking—not just for special occasions, but as a simple, everyday pleasure to share with family and friends. As John writes, the most meaningful bakes aren’t always the showstoppers, but the spontaneous treats—the muffins on a Saturday morning, the loaf cake after school—that turn ordinary moments into something memorable.
John Kanell is a cooking and baking expert and the founder of Preppy Kitchen, the hugely popular digital food brand with a combined following of over 10 million. A former middle school math and science teacher, John is known for his warm, approachable teaching style and meticulously tested recipes. His work has been featured on Today, Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and more. He lives in Connecticut with his husband and their twin boys.

"Klezmer Night" is a concert featuring Maxwell Street Klezmer Band and Friends. It is always a new show with fresh repertoire and guest musicians. This concert includes Jewish humorist Jeffry Mallow.&nbsp;
