It’s not often I get weepy reading about a book event, but this one tugged at the heartstrings. Carla Lalli’s new cookbook is her most personal one yet, crafted in the wake of loss while figuring out “what it means to cook for one, cook for comfort, and cook your way back to yourself.” This special event includes a snack box designed for the night using recipes from the book, which can be complemented with a Sour Patch Lemonade Spritz made just for the occasion. Meet the chef, enjoy some snacks and good company, and pick up the cookbook that can help you “feed yourself through a hard year and come out the other side still hungry for good things.” – Kat McNevins
