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.

The New Cookie: Creative Takes
on the Classics You Love

with Julia Collin Davison
from America's Test Kitchen

Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about cookie baking!

Bakers Dozen is thrilled to welcome Julia Collin Davison from America's Test Kitchen for a special Zoom presentation celebrating their exciting new cookbook, The New Cookie: Creative Takes on the Classics You Love — a modern collection of nearly 150 recipes that takes the comforting appeal of classic cookies and gives them fresh, vibrant new life.

If you loved ATK's bestselling The Perfect Cookie, you are going to adore this follow-up. Expect bold, modern flavors like Strawberry Matcha Cream Cheese Blondies and Chewy Gooey Biscoff Butter Cookies, reimagined classics like Levain-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies, and stunning bakery-style showpieces — all backed by ATK's famously rigorous testing process so you know they'll work every time.

As the ATK editors put it: "Social media may spark cookie trends, but The New Cookie helps home bakers actually pull them off."

This is shaping up to be one of the most essential baking books of the year — and we can't wait to explore it with Julia!

December 8
10 am to 11:30 am PST
