Join us in the Teaching Kitchen as we continue our Cook the Book series with the perfect pairing: Red Stick Spice X Red Stick Reads! The purchase price of this class includes a copy of Ann Patchett's Tom Lake. Participants will pick up their book from Red Stick Reads. 

Join Anne along with James & Theresa from Red Stick Reads in the Teaching Kitchen for an exploration of the Ann Patchett's Tom Lake. In this cooking class and discussion, we'll explore the signature Michigan dishes that Lara and Aunt Maisie would have served at the farmhouse on the cherry farm.

Eugene in Mid City Baton Rouge prior to the class. Red Stick Reads is Baton Rouge's only locally-owned book store located in the heart of Mid City.
