WR + WF Club Queers at the Table
Welcome to this month's installment of Well-Read + Well-Fed Club, a collaborative series from Reading in Public and the Culinary Annex! RinP picks a cookbook and Culinary Annex crafts a cooking class around it for the community to enjoy!
For our fifth WR + WF Club series, as this is Pride month, we will be making 4 recipes from the cookbook Queers at the Table with Chef Cass and Lindsy!
What do you consider to be queer food? This book explores that question and includes some wonderfully queer food to share at the table with friends and whomever you consider family! This class is focused on bringing the community together to celebrate Pride! Share food, love, and bookish delight!
