Our Story
Where Cookbooks Come to Life
What is it?
Cookbook authors and Philadelphia's favorite restaurants and chefs come together for 15+ events over two weeks — dinners, fireside chats, tastings, and demos curated by Sisterly Love Collective. Ticket and book sales support the authors and venues alike, while the events offer an educational window into food's deep cultural connections
What makes this year special?
This year's theme, Rooted, celebrates American food at its source and traces where it grows. Featured authors include NYT Cooking's Kay Chun and James Beard Award winner Katie Button, alongside a special tribute to Edna Lewis featuring Toni Tipton-Martin — connecting Philadelphia diners to the stories, land, and culture behind the plate.

Tales from the Yeast Indies: A Min Jiang Kueh Baking Demo with Christopher Tan
Food writer and cooking teacher Christopher Tan busts the world of baking wide open in his cookbooks, with unique recipes, stories and detailed knead-to-know advice from the deepest corners of a Nerdbaker's mind. Born, raised, and based in Singapore, Christopher's wide-ranging curiosity leads him to experiment with recreating and adapting an astonishing array of savory and sweet baked goods, rooted in Southeast Asian tradition while incorporating ingredients and styles from around the world.
