September Cookbook Club: Paella Garden Party

SEPTEMBER COOKBOOK CLUB IS HERE! When we started Cookbook Courtyard almost two years ago, one of the very first cookbooks we featured was Paella by Omar Allibhoy. It was such a fun one  -  we had members bring their A-game, making all kinds of paella and sharing their own takes on the dish. But what I loved most? So many of our members told us it was their first time ever making paella and they had a blast!

So… we’re bringing it back! For our September Cookbook Club, we’re taking things outside and turning my backyard garden into a late-afternoon paella garden party.

Bring your own paella, gather around the fire pit, sip on wine and fun drinks and spend the afternoon cooking, eating and hanging out with the Cookbook Courtyard community.

Whether you’re a paella pro or have never made one before, come join us. There’s really only one rule: bring your paella and come hungry.
