Greetings eaters, readers, supporters, home cooks, book lovers, members of this esteemed community!
My new cookbook, The Weekday Vegetarians: Get Simple is being published in less than two weeks (August 27!), and to celebrate I’ll be hitting the road, visiting a few favorite bookstores in a few favorites cities, all listed below. By far the most fun part of this whole writing thing is heading out into the world to connect with readers and home cooks and old friends and book store owners and book writing colleagues. I’m so excited — and I really hope you’ll come say hello!
And PS, this is phase one of my book tour — I plan to make several more pitstops over the next few months (at bookstores, event spaces, specialty stores, wherever!) so please send along suggestions.
I’ll also have a zoom event or two, so stay tuned for details on that one, too. In the meantime, here’s all the information for August and September events along with registration links. Thank you as always for the support!

P.S. Pre-order today and get my free mini manifesto: 10 Rules I Live By For Happier, Healthier Days*
*except for when I don’t
Whether you’ve been reading Dinner: A Love Story for a decade or a week, you probably know my number one rule by now: Finish the day with good meal, and whenever possible, share it with someone you love. This may or may not beg the question: What about your other rules? I’m so glad you asked! In honor of my upcoming cookbook, The Weekday Vegetarians: Get Simple (out in two short weeks) I’ve put together a little manifesto called 10 Rules I Live By For Happier, Healthier Days (Except for When I Don’t). It’s a little day-in-the-life mini book and FREE for anyone who has pre-ordered my book. You’ll find tips on everything from healthy snacking to plant-based protein-packing to a hot take on reading the newspaper, plus a list of every single book that’s been mentioned in this newsletter in 2024. (Rule 10: Read Yourself to Sleep.) You can click here to redeem the Bonus Book, and yes, if you pre-ordered the book months ago, a) thank you, you’re a real one! And b) just dig up your purchase number and enter the information where prompted.

Please come to Minneapolis!
If you have time to make more than one SF area stop (maybe the night before Omnivore?), we’d love to see you on the Peninsula too! Kepler’s in Menlo Park (where I pre-ordered) or Books Inc in Palo Alto are my favorite indy spots.
