June Read It & Eat Community Supper
🍽️ Read It & Eat Cookbook Supper Club
June Gathering: All American by Padma Lakshmi
📍 Vine Bar | Downtown Lancaster
📅 Sunday, June 14
⏰ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
🔞 21+ Event
Ticket Required for Entry
June’s supper is a celebration of the cultures, communities, and traditions that make America so vibrant.
We chose All American by Padma Lakshmi because it tells the real story of "American" food. One shaped by migration, heritage, neighborhood favorites, family tables, and generations of influence from around the world.
As we move toward our nation’s 250th year, this felt like the perfect book to gather around: one that honors the people and flavors that continue to define what America tastes like today.
Expect a table full of bold dishes, shared stories, and the joy of experiencing many cultures through food.
✨ What Is Read It & Eat?
Read It & Eat is a monthly cookbook supper club. We work on a quarterly schedule, 2 smaller gatherings 1 one larger community dinner.
Each month, we choose one cookbook. Every guest prepares a different recipe, then we gather for a shared meal where everyone gets to taste from the same book. Think potluck energy, dinner party feel. Seats are limited and these suppers often fill quickly.
🥄 How It Works
1. Reserve Your Spot
Once you purchase a ticket, you’ll receive the Dish Sign Up Form.
2. Choose a Recipe
Select a dish from All American. We ask that each guest chooses a different recipe so the table has variety. Please do not select a cocktail recipe. Food recipes that use alcohol as an ingredient are welcome.
3. Cook & Bring Your Dish
Please arrive with your recipe fully cooked, assembled, and ready to serve. Dressings/Garnishes are ok on side. A standard recipe amount is usually plenty. Bring a serving utensil if needed.
4. Share the Table
We’ll eat, mingle, talk recipes, and discover new favorites together.

📝 Good to Know
This is a 21+ event due to the venue and alcohol service.
Many guests attend solo, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
You’ll be able to share any allergies or dietary needs on the sign-up form. We’ll also have cards and pens available so dishes can be labeled with dietary notes such as vegetarian, vegan, or nut-free.
A Few Friendly Notes
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable unless the event is rescheduled.
If you have food allergies, participation is at your own discretion. By purchasing a ticket you agree that Read It & Eat is not liable for any medical/alergic reactions. We will do our best to label, but we're a group of home cooks, so cross contamination may happen. If you have a severe allergy, we may not be your best option.
💛 Why We Do This
Read It & Eat is about connection through cooking.
It’s about trying something new, making something delicious, meeting new people, and gathering around a table with others who said yes to the same idea.
No pressure. No perfection. Just good food and good people.
