Come to the cookbook swap on Dec. 21!
I launched a Food Book Club earlier this year with a 4/20 cookbook swap at Studio Aurora/Fault Radio (302 Valencia Street, San Francisco). We hosted a second one in June, and now we're planning a holiday edition on Dec. 21 that I hope you can attend!
I'll have a table set up with free vintage food magazines (including my California Eating zine) and cookbooks for trade. If you want to participate, please swing through with a book or a few books to swap. I will be there from 1-6 p.m. — it's kinda like office hours. Come through for a few or stay and have a glass of wine and lunch or snacks from Studio Aurora and a few pop-up chefs TBA!
It's fun for me to watch how the table changes throughout the course of the day. I've seen a lot of very expensive and gently used books come through, as well as humorous rarities that arrive with a family story. You could easily find fun books here to give as gifts for the holidays. The table will already be seeded with some new and almost-new cookbooks.
Here's some more shots from the first two swaps.
This week's column is about The Wild Fox, a new pop-up cafe in SF's Financial District that served me the best matcha I've ever tried. I can't stop thinking about it...

See you next weekend!
