The D&Q cookbook club is back! If a cookbook club is new to you, the idea is like a traditional book club, but instead of talking about a book we’ve all read, we all make a recipe (or multiple recipes) from a cookbook and share pictures our dishes on the event page and all together at a gathering at the bookshop. The club is hosted by Isabella Geddes and is free to attend.This season, we've chosen Asian Vegetables. And we are very honoured that author Caroline Wang will be in attendance!
Caroline, Stéphanie, and Patricia Wang, three sisters of Cantonese descent, have made it their mission to introduce gardeners, cooks, and vegetable lovers of all flavours to wider sources of sustenance.
Organized around fifteen Asian vegetables that are presented according to the rhythm of the seasons, this lush, full-colour book offers advice on growing and harvesting organic crops intended for both weekend and commercial gardeners, along with a host of ideas to preserve and prepare them, including over forty recipes, some of which have been developed by renowned chefs.
The Wang sisters complement the book's practical advice by offering thoughts on Asian vegetables from a cultural point of view and sharing the importance of these foods within their own family, members of whom left China to immigrate to Madagascar before settling in Canada.
Asian Vegetables is a generous and gorgeous tribute to good food, to the land, and the importance of strong roots.
Join us by posting pictures of your creations on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and use the hashtag #DQcooks. And join us in person with your own dish to share on Sunday September 2nd from 7 - 9 pm at La Petite Librairie Drawn and Quarterly (176 Rue Bernard O) with your dishes for a potluck!
Asian Vegetables will be 15% off at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly from now until the meeting date!

Librairie Drawn & Quarterly would like to acknowledge that our events and bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. It has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years.
