| Cooks with Books Events Cooks with Books events take place at Bay Area restaurants. Guests attend a meal that is prepared under the supervision of a local or celebrity chef (and since the Bay Area is one of the world's culinary capitals, that often means both!). Throughout the meal, the author-chef mingles with attendees and discusses his or her latest book. The ticket price includes the meal, wine, tax, tip & a signed copy of the author’s book. When registering online, please let us know in the "comments" section at checkout if you have any dietary restrictions or seating preferences. What are people saying about Cooks with Books events?
