A very sweet reminder that books, art, food, and hanging around a table together still make for a pretty ideal Saturday.

Last week, we welcomed @anissahelou back to Los Angeles for a rich and deeply personal conversation celebrating LEBANON: COOKING THE FOODS OF MY HOMELAND with @bill_addison ✨

Together, they explored the vastness of Lebanese regional cooking, the ways food carries memory across borders and generations, and how even the most familiar dishes can shift dramatically from village to village, family to family, home to home. Anissa spoke beautifully about the micro-regional nature of Lebanese cooking—how recipes are constantly shaped by geography, migration, seasonality, and personal history.

From discussions of village dishes and family tables to the cultural histories layered into everyday cooking, the evening reminded us how cookbooks can hold far more than instructions—they can preserve identity, movement, and home itself.

Thank you to @kcrw and everyone who joined us for another special sold out evening at the shop 🩵

Signed copies of LEBANON are available in-store and online 🇱🇧

A little Sunday night sweetness from the other week’s celebration of CAKE FROM LUCIE with @fromlucienyc and #friendoftheshop @sashimi1 🍰

Thank you to everyone who came out for such a warm, thoughtful evening - full of conversations about baking, homesickness, hospitality, the French countryside, New York City origin stories, and even the strange ways imposter syndrome can quietly become its own kind of superpower.

Special thanks of course to Lucie and Sasha for bringing a beautiful cake for everyone to share together at the shop ✨

Spring author event season keeps rolling, and we’re grateful to spend these nights with all of you.

Signed copies of CAKE FROM LUCIE are available in the shop and online while we got ‘em.

A little Sunday night sweetness from the other week’s celebration of CAKE FROM LUCIE with @fromlucienyc and #friendoftheshop @sashimi1 🍰

Thank you to everyone who came out for such a warm, thoughtful evening - full of conversations about baking, homesickness, hospitality, the French countryside, New York City origin stories, and even the strange ways imposter syndrome can quietly become its own kind of superpower.

Special thanks of course to Lucie and Sasha for bringing a beautiful cake for everyone to share together at the shop ✨

Spring author event season keeps rolling, and we’re grateful to spend these nights with all of you.

Signed copies of CAKE FROM LUCIE are available in the shop and online while we got ‘em.

This Saturday at the shop 📍

Join us in Chinatown for the launch party for TABLE ! with celebrated American artist and illustrator @maggiemargaret_cowles - the very first children’s book published by @chose_commune.

The book is packed with wildly charming illustrated food scenes, tiny visual jokes, and artwork so good that more than a few cooks and chefs might leave considering a very impulsive and inspired tattoo decision.

We’ll have an afternoon of book signing, collage-making, drinks and immaculate vibes courtesy of @souvenirofthesunday ✨ Build your own one-of-a-kind tee or tote from a buffet of Maggie’s decals and lettering — or bring something from home to press on!

Make your own wearable souvenir with @souvenirofthesunday :
Adult shirt — $40
BYO shirt — $30
Tote bag — $28

Super-cute, strange, playful, and deeply food people coded.
All ages welcome!

Saturday 5/9 • 3–5 PM
