I’ve said it once and I will say it again, I have the GREATEST friends in the world. Before leaving on my US book tour, they hosted a Condiment Book Potluck using recipes from my US book. It happened to fall on the most gorgeous summer-like day in London, so wanted to share the menu with you because it was without a doubt, my dream summer spread.
ICYMI, my US book tour dates are here and are UPDATED with a new LA event on the day of my actual book launch, May 20th - I want to celebrate with you!!!! I’ll be signing books at Layla Bagels in Beverly Hills 8-10AM. No tickets needed, just come hang before work :)
From apéro to mains to dessert, each dish was an 11/10. There were obviously many condiments on the table so everyone could choose their own adventure, garnish, and mish mash as desired. Below I’ve listed the full lunch menu as well as my favorite condiment pairings for each item. And yes, everything on the table is a recipe you can find in my book! click here for free sticker sheet and live cooking zoom link
