An Evening with for Eating at Home:

What if the most radical thing you could do tonight was just… cook dinner?

Trinity will be joined by her good friend for a conversation about food as care, the kitchen as sanctuary, and what it means to reclaim our time at the table. Tickets at link in profile!

Welcome .chesnakova back to the shop for her latest book Chesnok, about the food of the Soviet diaspora. She’ll be joined in conversation by Portland heroine Bonnie Morales of . Event is free with book purchase.

In Bonnie’s words, “Chesnok feels like sitting down at the table of an old friend—one who understands the bittersweet nostalgia of a cuisine shaped by movement, resilience, and the blending of cultures. Polina Chesnakova captures the essence of the post-Soviet table, where dill-flecked salads, golden khachapuri, and steaming bowls of dumplings aren’t just food, but touchstones of identity. Her writing is tender, her recipes deeply familiar yet fresh, and her perspective so necessary in this moment. This book is a gift to those of us who have longed to see our food, our stories, and our histories reflected on the page.”
