Join us as we kick off a new series – Cooking Nights “Inspired By” beloved chefs and their recipes. Enjoy a night devoted to Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen. Try your hand at a selection of Smitten Kitchen recipes and enjoy a tasting.

Smitten Kitchen is a blog for home cooks created by Deb Perelman, which celebrates triumphant but unfussy cooking. Otherwise described by Deb as "Fearless cooking from a tiny kitchen in New York City," Smitten Kitchen wants to be the place you go to find your new favorite thing to cook. Since launching her blog 16 years ago, Perelman has published three cookbooks, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, Smitten Kitchen Every Day and 2022's Smitten Kitchen Keepers. On Food Network, she brings us into the cozy home kitchen where she grew her popular blog, and helps us all create instant everyday classics for real life. Find a treasure trove of Deb's recipes and more at smittenkitchen.com
