Hosted by Sauté Sundays Cookbook Club
📅 July 19, 6:15 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Jrew's (165 Niagara Street)
✨ Newsletter subscribers receive early access before public release.
July's table is going Vietnamese — and this one's for everyone, including the nervous cooks.
Join us for our July cookbook club gathering featuring Vietnamese Food Any Day by Andrea Nguyen — a book built around everyday ingredients, simple techniques, and flavour that punches way above the effort. No specialty store runs required.
We do a beginner-friendly edition every few months, and this is it. If you've been curious about joining but weren't sure your cooking was "good enough" — this is your month.
We'll build the table together, one dish at a time.
We're opening 35 seats. Want to see what past nights look like? Find us on Instagram @sautesundays.to.
How it works:
🥘 Pick a recipe from the cookbook (available on Libby)
🍳 Cook it at home
🍴 Bring your dish to share (6–8 portions) — everyone participates
💬 Eat, hang, and chat with fellow food lovers
Truly no professional skills required — this month especially. Bring your appetite, curiosity, and love for communal eating.
Come on your own or with a friend — the table tends to take care of the rest.
A little extra this month
We're also gathering support for families in Venezuela — medical & first aid supplies and non-perishable food are very welcome, or you're welcome to e-transfer a contribution to [email protected] instead
Note: This isn't a registered charity, so it's informal (no tax receipt) — just our community pooling what we can. 100% goes toward supplies and relief, forward directly to the World Central Kitchen. Nothing is kept for event costs.
Bring items the night of or send a transfer anytime before then.
We'll post an update on Instagram and email everyone directly once supplies are sent.
A few friendly notes:
✅ A confirmation email will be sent after you RSVP. If you don't see it, feel free to reach out.
✅ Please choose your recipe and add your name to the sign-up sheet within 3 days of RSVPing (or sooner if the event is within a week). This keeps the table balanced and fair.
🍽️ Please bring your own plate, utensils, and serving spoon if possible — it helps us keep things simple and sustainable.
