The Hidden Table Cookbook - PRE-ORDER

Embark on a culinary adventure as I share stories and recipes from my many travels around the globe based around different locales and their people, food, and history. I’ve always thought of the dining table as a powerful communal space that provides a shared experience for the diverse threads of culture to interweave. This cookbook is a collection of my experiences around some of the most obscure yet memorable tables I’ve discovered during my travels and the unique people that made them so special.

The Hidden Table Cookbook is a story and recipe book with 12 chapters, each representing a different place in the world where I have traveled and cooked. I tell stories of the “hidden tables” around which I have learned, cooked, eaten, and made long lasting friends. These have been dining room tables, picnic tables, campfires, fishing boats, hay bales, and even palace kitchens. I’ve made wonderful friendships with people who have shared their stories and recipes with me, and I am now thrilled to be able to share them with you in this book. In addition, The Hidden Table features extraordinary and beautiful photography, by my friend and photographer, Valerie Wei-Haas. It is my hope that when you read the stories and see the photos, you'll feel like you are in those places with me.
