The Book Was Better — A Paradis Book Club with Through the Fold

Every other month, we gather to introduce a new cookbook through a live demonstration led by Communion’s team of chefs. Together, we taste, learn, and explore the heart of the book — then take it home for two months of cooking, experimenting, and making the recipes our own and gathering at our midpoint for a potluck to share our insights and experiences. 

When we reconvene, the table opens again. We share what we loved, what we adapted, what surprised us — and the stories that unfolded along the way. No perfection required. Just curiosity, conversation, and connection.

Pull up a chair.
There’s a place for you at Our Shared Table.

Our first selection is By Heart by Hailee Catalano, a cookbook rooted in memory, technique, and the quiet joy of cooking with intention. Because this book club includes demonstrations and food is provided, we need an accurate headcount and there is a cost involved. Seating is limited to 25 people, so make sure to reserve your spot. RESERVE >>
