This month, we're cooking from the heart — and the handwritten margins.
Join us for a special edition of our Cookbook Club as we celebrate Our Grandmothers’ Recipes — the ones passed down through generations, scribbled on index cards, and perfected over Sunday dinners.
Bring a Dish + a Memory:
We invite you to prepare a favorite family recipe and bring along its handwritten version — whether it’s a single card smudged with flour or a well-loved recipe book filled with notes in the margins.
Let’s gather around the table, share the flavors that raised us, and honor the women who wrote the original cookbooks of our lives.
📅 Date: Thursday, August 21
📍 Location: Natchitoches Picnic Company at 524 Front Street, Natchitoches, LA
📖 Theme: Handwritten Treasures & Grandmother’s Recipes
🥘 What to Bring: A dish to share + a copy of the handwritten recipe (or recipe book!)
Because the best recipes don’t just feed us — they tell our stories.
Price: $24.95*
