Salt + Spine Cookbook Club

Baking Party with Jessie Sheehan

Tue | Jul 26, 2022 | 5:30–7P PT

Featured Author Jessie Sheehan

Guest Host Brian Hogan Stewart

The Salt+Spine Cookbook Club returns! We invite you to join Jessie Sheehan in celebration of her brand new cookbook, Snackable Bakes: 100 Easy-Peasy Recipes for Exceptionally Scrumptious Sweets and Treats. Join Jessie, Brian Hogan Stewart of Salt+Spine, Monique Llamas of Hardcover Cook, and other club participants for a virtual Baking Party. Cook along with Jessie (or just watch), enjoy the opportunity to ask questions, and connect with other cookbook lovers.

Please note: The Salt+Spine Cookbook Club Dinner (or Baking!) Party is not a formal cooking class. It is a cooking-optional event meant for gathering, interacting with the author and other club participants, and celebrating an exceptional book and writer.

The Salt+Spine Cookbook Club is like a regular book club…but with a special twist. Each season, we focus on one book—reading, cooking and connecting on social media (see “Participate” below). The bonus: we get together live with the author for a Cook- or Bake-along Party sponsored by Hardcover Cook, the subscription box and ingredient shop for cookbook lovers. The Party is currently virtual (via Zoom); we look forward to the day when the club can meet in person at The Civic Kitchen.

Guest Host

Brian Hogan Stewart

BRIAN HOGAN STEWART is the host and creator of Salt + Spine. He is a once-budding chef who passed on a culinary school degree to pursue journalism. He’s not a professional cook nor a cookbook author—but an avid home cook and an enthusiastic cookbook collector, with a collection now in the hundreds. (That may seem like a lot to some, but he envies Diana Henry’s 4,000-book library almost daily!)

Brian has worked extensively in journalism and new media, including leading a media company featuring a daily newspaper with circulation of 50,000+, a nightly newscast, and multiple digital properties. He has conducted hundreds (and hundreds…) of interviews throughout his career, including time spent covering food culture and personalities in the midwest.

Brian is a native of Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in journalism, English, and American studies. He is currently pursuing a Global MBA in food and wine at Italy’s Bologna Business School.
