Best sous chef ever.

"This copy was previously owned by Jeremiah Tower and purchased from @omnivorebooks.bsky.social at a hefty price. High enough that as I walked home, my bank called me to make sure there wasn’t any fraud and my credit rating took a dip a couple of days later." open.substack.com/pub/kitchenb...

Two fabulous food writers, Samin Nosrat & Laurie Woolever, hanging out in Omnivore’s “backstage” (our lovely storage room) before their event last week!

The oldest published cookbook by a Black American woman is back in print. Written in 1866 by Malinda Russell, "A Domestic Cookbook" offers a glimpse into history — with recipes for allspice cake, lemon puffs, and even homemade cologne. (via @npr.org)

I have such a great idea for the Democratic Party: We need to craft and start touting a Project 2028! (All it actually needs to say is, “We will reverse everything the Trump administration has done.”).

Just in: a 1969 first edition of this wonderful classic, in fine condition!

Talk about blue sky! What a day.

Just wrapped up three amazing book talks at three wonderful west coast bookstores: @omnivorebooks.bsky.social in San Francisco, Broadway Books in Portland, and Book Larder in Seattle. Please reach out if you think a bookstore near you would like to hear me talk about the history of food and sex!

Tomorrow @tablehopper.bsky.social and I will be talking LOUDLY about trans history at my book launch at @omnivorebooks.bsky.social. In the midst of this digital book burning, I will do my small part by talking about trans history at every public opportunity I get. No LGB history without T & Q.

Two cool dogs I got to hang with today

Never. Enough. Toys.

A 1941 book we could all use right now

I loved seeing my friend and colleague Melissa Clark today. Not only is she smart and sweet, but her recipes never fail!

We have a special guest interviewer for one of our upcoming events, with limited space to attend. Only one person found it and nabbed a ticket when I sent out my newsletter yesterday (which lists events at the end). Can you? myemail.constantcontact.com/Omnivore-Boo...

Gung hay fat choy - Happy Lunar New Year! I had so much fun decorating our shop window this morning. I even borrowed a toy snake from our pet shop next door.

Our event last Saturday featured author @nyatattack.bsky.social and their book Spirits Distilled - plus 3 uncommon new whiskies to taste! I can’t remember the last time I got tongue-tied because I thought the author was cute, but it was bound to happen sometime.

Gung Hay Fat Choy from Pip, who is so happy it’s finally Year of the Snake!
