Join author Kristy Cambron and she signs and promotes her new book, The French Kitchen.

“From the heights of culinary cuisine in 1950s Paris society to the underbelly of a WWII spy network embedded deep within Nazi-controlled Vichy France—and the spy backstory of the world’s most famous would-be French chef, Julia Child—The French Kitchen turns up the heat on the pasts of women whose worlds collide, and forces each to question what she thought she’d planned for a perfect future.”

This is not a ticketed event, however, we do encourage you to RSVP on our Facebook page under “Events”. Light snacks will be provided.

We have cookbooks for everyone, including the old souls.🍰🫖
