Note
Please note information below for each event, some of which are ticketed. In each city, we’ve made sure there’s a signing that anyone can come and bring a book to, though the bookstores that host signings hope that you will buy books — any books on your wish or gift lists — from them too. This helps these awesome stores keep their doors open, lights on, and events staffed so that I get to come hang out with you there (yay). Whatever you have on your shopping list, each store will be happy to help you find it while you’re there. Plus, of course, they’ll have plenty of extra copies of Smitten Kitchen cookbooks on hand.
Is the book tour not coming to your town? Fret not. You can pre-order a signed cookbook inscribed any way you wish through The Strand, a beloved bookstore in my neighborhood right here. I am inscribing these books next Monday 10/16, so if you’d like yours to go out with the other preorders, please order by then? (I will still be delighted to sign all other orders, but they will be in the weeks that follow the release date.) [Custom Signed Smitten Kitchen Cookbooks at The Strand]
