Book Release Celebration // Food Swap: Specialty Recipes for Bartering, Sharing, and Giving
Taught by Emily Paster
Emily Paster is the creator of the popular website West of the Loop, which was named a Top Mommy Blog by Time Out Chicago Kids and a Family Food Blog to Savor by Red Tricycle. She is the co-founder of the Chicago Food Swap, teaches canning classes in the Chicago area, and writes on food and entertaining for Chicago Parent magazine.
Contemporary food swaps evolved out of hip DIY food culture: as more home cooks experiment with preserving, gardening, and baking, they often end up with overwhelming quantities of their wares. Food swaps bring a community of such cooks together to barter their lovingly crafted goods with one another – and there’s one in Brooklyn! As the founder of the successful Chicago Food Swap, author Emily Paster (West of the Loop) wrote Food Swap: Specialty Recipes for Bartering, Sharing, and Giving to introduce readers to the ins and outs of attending, hosting, and prepping for a swap.
Join her for insider secrets, DIY inspiration, and barter-ready recipes sure to make you the belle of the swap!
Copies of Food Swap: Specialty Recipes for Bartering, Sharing, and Giving will be available for purchase.
