Join the D+Q Cooks! Cookbook Clubon Sunday November 2nd at 6:30 pmto share delicious food with fellow cookbook lovers!
A cookbook club is like a traditional book club,but instead of talking about a book weve all read, we all make arecipe (or multiple recipes) froma cookbook and share pictures ourdishes 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.
For this edition of the club we are reading QUEERS AT THE TABLE, edited by Alex D. Ketchum and Megan J. Elias. For this meeting we will be joined by editor Alex D. Ketchum as well as contributors TristianLee, Danielle Kydd, and Lauren McGowan.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
QUEERS AT THE TABLE is an anthology of essays, comics, andrecipes that reveals the dynamic and transformative relationship between queerness and food

Food haslong played an important role in queer culture. Lesbian- and queer women-run feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses have been safe spaces for queer and trans folkwhere gender norms can be challenged and where female authority is legitimized. During the AIDS epidemic, gay men and their allies centred food as an expression of collective care for those who needed itmost. And queer and trans folk have asserted themselves in a restaurant culture largely controlled bywhite cisgender men.

Queers at the Table celebrates the various intersections between queers and food. In its essays, comics, and recipes, the book shows how this shared culture fosters connections, defies norms, honours legacies, and creates community. Taylor Hartson and Tristian Lee write about a queer farming community in which queerness is part of a broad network ofliving things to be enjoyed and shared; Danielle Kydd writes about food security issues as faced by LGBTQ2S+ folk; and Blue Delliquanti's comic on urban foraging in Minneapolis demonstrates the role of aqueer friend group in a local ecosystem.

In full colour throughout, Queers at the Table is a diverseand enriching anthology that reveals the myriad nurturing ways thatqueerness informs food productionand restaurant culture and how food empowers, transforms, and unites queer and trans folk.
