New York Times Bestselling and James Beard Award Winning Author Molinaro Shares Her Latest Cookbook Of Fresh New Dishes With Korean Twists
About this Event

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Thursday, October 30 when New York Times Bestselling and James Beard Award Winning Author Joanne Lee Molinaro comes to the store to present her brand new cookbook The Korean Vegan: Homemade: Recipes and Stories from My Kitchen. Joanne will be joined in conversation by Randy Lau and will sign copies of her book after the presentation.

This is a ticketed event. The purchase of your ticket includes one copy of The Korean Vegan: Homemade and entrance to the event for either one or two attendees.

Joanne Molinaro is everyone’s favorite storytelling vegan cook. On her platform, The Korean Vegan, she’s known for her personal narrative voiceovers, which accompany mouthwatering videos of her making everything from Kimchi to Korean-inspired pasta dishes. Whether it’s a reflection on her relationship with her father over a plate of noodles or a story about learning to love her body as a marathon runner while she bakes dessert, Joanne is always making deep connections with her followers through food. Now, in The Korean Vegan: Homemade, Joanne offers the recipes that she makes most often at home.

As Joanne likes to say, she loves to “veganize” Korean cuisine and “Koreanize” everything else. This book is a tribute to all the culinary inspirations that have shaped her cooking over the years and incredible flavors they have created. A memory about learning to repurpose leftover rice from her grandmother Hahlmuhnee results in Fried Rice Waffles; a question from her father leads to Joanne learning to make his childhood favorite noodles, Janchi Guksu; her Pesto Tteokbokki combines her husband’s Italian roots with her own; and her love of savory snacks and kimchi helps invent Buffalo Kimchi Artichoke Dip. With her stunning signature photography and tips for building a Korean pantry, Joanne celebrates the magical connections between family, home, and food.

JOANNE LEE MOLINARI'S first cookbook, The Korean Vegan Cookbook, was a New York Times bestseller and a James Beard Award winner, recognized as one of the best cookbooks of the year by The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Epicurious. Joanne has been featured on CBS Saturday Morning, PBS Newshour, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and more. With over 200,000 copies in print, her debut book established her as a leading voice in plant-based and Korean cuisine.

With 2.9 million followers on TikTok and 900K followers on Instagram, Molinaro’s influence continues to grow, reaching audiences worldwide with her unique blend of storytelling and food. Since the release of her first book, her social media presence has expanded significantly, earning her a spot in Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine "Collective," a mentoring program dedicated to empowering women

RANDY LAU is a father of 3, a proud son of two Chinese immigrants, and the creative engine behind Made With Lau, his family's media brand highlighting Randy's dad's Cantonese recipes and celebrating their heritage. Launched in September 2020 during the height of the pandemic, Made With Lau is among the fastest growing food channels on YouTube and social media. In just 5 years, they've become one of the most popular and trusted authorities for Chinese cooking online, with a community of 2.5M+ total followers and two James Beard Awards for their critically acclaimed content.
