Whether you love to cook, sip, or simply page through a beautifully crafted cookbook, the Cookbook Lovers Club&nbsp;is for you. In collaboration with the fabulous food stylist and cookbook author Bebe Carminito, our club gathers to celebrate the art of cookbooks—featuring a different author and their delicious creations. We meet, eat, sip, and savor good conversation with fellow foodies.

Cara has made it her life's mission to put vegetables at the center of the American plate. Whether you're a lifelong vegetable lover or just looking to bring more produce-forward cooking into your everyday routine, this evening is designed to inspire and equip you.
