About the Show:
Join bestselling author, cook, and grocery store enthusiast Alison Roman for an evening of conversation in celebration of her newest cookbook, Something From Nothing — a collection of recipes featuring beloved favorites and new classics. In this intimate, behind-the-scenes event, Alison shares what it’s really like to write a cookbook, run a grocery store without losing your mind, and somehow still find time to roast a chicken with a newborn. Expect hot takes, cooking stories, and kitchen confessions — all with the honesty and humor you’ve come to love. The evening will include a live Q&A with the audience, so bring your burning questions about hosting, turning 40, the best capers brand, and everything in between.

About the Author:
Alison Roman is a New York-based cook, writer, and author of the cookbook Something from Nothing as well as the New York Times bestselling cookbooks Sweet Enough, Nothing Fancy, and Dining In. She’s the creator of the “Home Movies” series on YouTube where she makes food you want to eat while making cooking feel fun and accessible, the author of “A Newsletter,” a newsletter featuring recipes and recommendations, and the creator of “Solicited Advice,” a podcast where she does what she loves most: gives advice. In 2023, she opened First Bloom, a small grocery store in the Western Catskills full of local produce, near and far pantry staples and the best granola you’ve ever had. You can find all her recipes, videos, recommendations, and more at her website.
