CLAM presents
A Kitchen in your Calendar
Saturday, October 25, 7pm
at ECHO-ECHO, 1469 Venables
A Kitchen in your Calendar started from a post-concussion slip of the tongue in the fall of 2024 and an ongoing desire to have both a nice and a useful calendar. This project could be called a year-long collaboration in food, sound, and drawing between Hannah Sofia Eriksson and Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora, or an ongoing excuse to spend time with a dear friend.
Designed by Joni Schinkel, this recipe book-as-calendar compiles a year's worth of culinary experimentation and provides seasonal recipes to follow along with in the year(s) to come.
The recipes Hannah and Yasmine developed are a mix of go-to things they love to cook and dishes they created based on what was on hand. From January to December, the food varies from light snacks to full meals, savory to sweet. Always winking at the basics before popping off (slightly), the dishes include things like Mulberry Walnut Bread & Fresh Mandarin Butter, Deconstructed Pea Flower Poached Pear Ricotta Pie, an Arugula Lime Lemongrass Cocktail/Mocktail, Crispy Eggplant over Stone Fruit Yogurt, and (an incredibly unhinged) Gooseberry Prawn Ceviche.
Since the practice of meeting monthly to cook for this project was as much a means to spend time as it was about the recipe development, they invite an overall casual approach to timing—hoping that the recipes inside can become a reason to gather over/through/despite the rhythms of a calendar year.
A calendar (for 2026), a recipe book (for later), a reason to cook with friends (always).

A limited number of *pre-release* A Kitchen in your Calendar, recipe book-as-calendars, will be available for $30 at the launch, with a sign up to pre-order for the final printing.
Light refreshments at the launch, of course.
