The sign-up will help ensure we have a variety of recipes to taste test! Make enough to share as we have some good eats and chats. The featured cookbook will be available for sale at Sidetrack.We will provide paper products (plates, cups, silverware). Please bring any necessary serving dishes and serving utensils for your chosen recipe. You can bring a small cooler or warming device for your recipe if needed. Please note that electrical hook-ups are VERY limited at the store so you should not count on access to electricity for your items.House RulesSidetrack Bookshop is a mission-driven bookstore, which means (in part) that we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all identities. In order to maintain our welcoming and inclusive space in the context of what we hope will be a lively and productive book club discussion, we have developed the following house rules.By attending a book club meeting, you agree to the following:Share the floor: Be sure to let everyone talk and express their thoughts on the book. If you feel like you're talking a lot, you probably are! Invite others to speak.Be respectful: We'll no doubt have differing opinions. Seek to understand first, then to be understood. Check your privilege, and take special care with others who have lived experience differing from your own.Comments or behavior that demean a specific person, identity, or culture will not be tolerated.Book club hosts will keep these house rules in mind and will redirect you or the conversation as a whole if we feel they aren't being honored. We also reserve the right to ask an attendee to leave if we feel they're contributing to an unwelcome space.About the BookCaroline Chambers famously doesn’t feel like cooking—and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her superpowers are eliminating unnecessary steps; minimizing dirty dishes; and making dinnertime as simple, stress-free, and fun as possible. While plenty of obstacles stand between you and a delicious meal, being short on time is probably the biggest one.This exciting follow-up cookbook is once again organized into three time-based chapters. You’ll find recipes for 100 dinners, all of which are complete meals and can be made with no more than 30 minutes hands-on time in the kitchen—and yes, that includes chopping, marinating, and all other prep! Delicious meals include:Flank Steak with Elote SalsaFish and Veggie CurryRotisserie-ish Chicken with Schmaltzy Lemon DressingSmoky Black BeansFried RiceEvery quick and easy recipe features Caro’s signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower you to make these recipes work for you—not the other way around! You’ll also find special treasures throughout the book, including anchor recipes you can spin into five different dishes so you can DIY your favorites.Plus, helpful back-of-book indexes allow you to search by both ingredient—useful when, say, you’ve got ground meat in the freezer—and occasion or mood—like when you cannot be bothered to chop a single thing. Even on the nights when you think there’s no way, no how, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast will help you get a full, flavorful meal on the table in basically no time.About the AuthorCAROLINE CHAMBERS grew up in the kitchen on her mom’s hip, learning how to cook in their Winston-Salem, North Carolina, home. With experience as a chef, caterer, and freelance recipe developer for a host of publications and brands, she published her first cookbook in 2018, Just Married. In 2020—at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic—Caro began sharing her recipes and connecting with home cooks on Instagram (@carochambers), and launched her newsletter, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking, which flew to the top of the Substack charts. Her next cookbook, bearing the same title, was published in 2024 and was an instant New York Times bestseller. Caro lives in Carmel Valley, California, with her husband, George, and their four sons, Mattis, Calum, Cashel, and Tavish—one of whom can almost always be found in the kitchen on her hip. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/royal-oak/sidetrack-cookbook-club-what-to-cook-make-it-fast/100001992972181444 - **Event Categories**: meetups, food-drinks, dance, art, literary-art, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: 325 S Washington Ave - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.24, max: 6.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Royal Oak - **state**: MI - **country**: United States - **location**: 325 S Washington Ave - **lat**: 42.4873955 - **long**: -83.14631720000001 - **full address**: 325 S Washington Ave, 325 South Washington Avenue, Royal Oak, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sidetrack Cookbook Club - What to Cook ...
