The "Taste of Persia" Meet & Eat is next Wednesday!

One more week until the most anticipated Cookbook Club Meet & Eat of the year. “Taste of Persia: A Cook's Travels Through Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, and Kurdistan by Naomi Duguid is the 2017 winner of both the James Beard Award for Best Book of the Year, International and the IACP Award for Best Cookbook for the Year in Culinary Travel.

"Through rich storytelling and recipes from her travels, Duguid explores the culinary heritage that unites Iran, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kurdistan.” Recipes like Spicy Fish Salad, Fried Eggplant Roll-Ups, and Pomegranate Ash with Meatballs, all shared on our blog, demonstrate the depth and breadth of true Persian cuisine. We hope you will join us at the Retail Store next Wednesday night!

Never opened one of these emails before and now you are wondering what the World Spice Cookbook Club is all about? Here is a quick refresher:

Membership in the club is free, and we "Meet & Eat" the first Wednesday of the month. Every member brings a dish prepared from the featured cookbook, and we all gather to discuss the book, the food and whatever else comes to mind! Benefits include a 20% discount off cookbook club selections -- both in store and with the discount code "bookworm" online -- and a giveaway at each meeting.
