Hotori Cookbook Potluck: Linger

Join us for our next Cookbook Potluck featuring Linger by Hetty Lui McKinnon - a gathering centered around salads, sharing, and lingering a little longer at the table.

For this event, each attendee will prepare a dish from Linger to bring and share.

In her work, McKinnon reflects on the power of salads to connect and create community; dishes meant to be passed around, spooned onto each other’s plates, and enjoyed slowly. Salads are what you bring to a gathering of friends or family: the ultimate comfort food. Please note: This is not a class or a dinner service.

Linger by Hetty Lui McKinnon is available to purchase at Hotori for 15% off for event attendees leading up to and during event day.
