April Cookbook Club: FROM THE LAND OF NIGHTINGALES & ROSES - Maryam Sinaiee

Iranian food comes to life in our delicious potluck-style Cookbook Club this April. Bring a dish, share food, make new friends and memories.

Join us for the APRIL 2026 meeting of the BOLD FORK COOKBOOK CLUB!

Here’s how it works: everyone will prepare a dish from FROM THE LAND OF NIGHTINGALES & ROSES by Maryam Sinaiee. Ahead of the event, you’ll receive access to a spreadsheet where you and other attendees list chosen dishes.

Then we’ll gather in the shop and share a feast! We’ll talk through the process of procuring ingredients, challenges and unexpected pleasures of the cooking process and other things related to the book.

If you purchase a copy of the book from us with your ticket, you can pick it up in our store or have it shipped for an additional cost.

PLEASE NOTE: because of the high demand of this event, we will not be able to process refunds. We will email you when copies of the book are available for pick up and shipping!
