Cake and Cocktails inspired by Helen Goh's Baking and the Meaning of Life

October 29 | In-Store | 6 PM

Join us for an evening of cake and cocktails inspired by recipes in Helen Goh’s hotly anticipated (Abrams). Evanston’s own Tam’s Cafe cooks Naka and May will serve up two treats inspired by Helen’s book, paired with cocktails by NaKorn. 

Your ticket includes two treats (one savory, one sweet) and one cocktail (we will have both an alcohol, and a non-alcohol option), and an audience Q & A with cooks Naka and May. Space is limited and tickets are going fast!

We will have copies of book on-hand for purchase:

"In her hotly anticipated debut solo cookbook, Yotam Ottolenghi pastry chef and recipe developer Helen Goh draws on her rich multicultural heritage to deliver more than 100 of her favorite recipes.

No one knows the “why” or “how” of baking better than Helen Goh, recipe developer with Yotam Ottolenghi for more than a decade and co-author of New York Times bestselling books Sweet and Comfort.

With the debut of her first solo cookbook, Goh shares her distinctive approach to baking informed by her multicultural heritage with 100 delicious desserts of all kinds as well as savory bakes.

Drawing on her upbringing in Malaysia and Australia, her acclaimed work with Ottolenghi where she specialized in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, and even her active psychotherapy practice, Goh not only shares her favorite baking recipes, but also reflections on life, sharing how baking can bring us together and add meaning and joy to both significant and everyday moments."

The discussion and Q&A will take place downstairs at Bookends & Beginnings. Doors will open at 5:30 PM for this event.
