Cookbook & Recipe Share at Foreign Cinema

Cookbook Swap & Recipe Share
Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Some of the best recipes are the ones we share — along with the stories behind them.

Our originally planned program with Alex George, @LilyPCrumbs, had to be rescheduled due to an unexpected family emergency. We send Alex and her family our warmest wishes and look forward to welcoming her another time.

For November, we're turning to our own kitchens and bookshelves for inspiration.

Here's how it works: bring a cookbook you're ready to pass along, and bake one of your favorite recipes from its pages. During the program, each participant will introduce their book, share what they've baked, and tell us what makes it special — the story behind it, a baking tip, what keeps you coming back to it. We'll taste one another's creations, swap notes, and then comes the fun part: each book finds a new home with another member.

The recipe and cookbook exchange are optional.

If you can, please bring:

• One cookbook to pass along
• A favorite recipe baked from that book, ready to share
• The recipe title and page number, any story or tip you'd like to tell us
• Please label your bake with its name and common allergens

Lunch follows the program.

We look forward to a morning of delicious discoveries and generous sharing — the very things that make Bakers Dozen so special.
