Visit this weekly Friday farmers market where purchasing—or donating—just one cookbook on September 30 entitles you to take home up to five free, pre-enjoyed cookbooks of your choice, while supplies last.
Meet local authors Stephanie Villani (“The Fisherman’s Wife”) and Stacy Dermont (“The Hamptons Kitchen”); peruse a selection of signed cookbooks by legendary North Fork chef John Ross.
At 6pm join award-winning photographer Barbara Judge Lassen for a free demo – “How to Photograph Food.”
Chef Steve Amaral of North Fork Chocolate Company—currently at work on a vegan cookbook—will be “popping up” to offer chocolate and wine pairings with Peconic Bay Vineyards and North Cliff Vineyards.
Used cookbooks can be donated at the market any Friday in advance of—or during—the event.
