Amanda & Melissa's Book Launch Party

Amanda and her New York Times colleague and friend Melissa Clark are co-hosting a book launch party at Manhattan's Chelsea Market next Tuesday, November 2nd -- we'd love to see you there!

In honor of their new books -- Amanda's The Essential New York Times Cookbook and Melissa's In the Kitchen with A Good Appetite -- they've invited 20 of New York's best chefs to make recipes from the Times. You'll be able to mingle with the chefs while you taste 20 dishes and drink locally made beer, 19th century punch and egg creams!

This is a ticketed event and proceeds will go to the Wellness in the Schools program, a local non-profit that works to improve nutrition and fitness in public schools.
