Cookbook Club with Now Serving
Our friends at the Los Angeles based cookbook and culinary shop Now Serving share their picks of the season. It's like a back to school reading list, but for anyone who likes to cook :-)
September Reads
Now Serving was started by husband and wife team Michelle Mungal and Ken Concepcion (who spent decades in the kitchen at Wolfgang Puck's Cut steakhouse) back in 2017. They asked themselves, “Where would cooks and chefs want to hang out on their day off?”
The answer was to create the only culinary bookstore in Los Angeles. SoCal-based Grazoids may already be familiar with their beautifully curated selection and fun line-up hosting authors and chefs like Andrea Nguyen, Natasha Pickowicz, and Hetty McKinnon. But for those of you who haven't yet had the chance to check out their shelves (or live too far away to make it IRL), we asked them to put together a list of their favorite picks for the fall. Read on to read on!
