As part of our extended programming from the Crested Butte Wine + Food Festival, we’re bringing an elevated twist to our beloved Cookbook Club! Join us for a special chef-prepared dinner in collaboration with Cool Food author Thomas Kostigan, bringing the book’s fresh, sustainable, and flavorful recipes to life. Instead of a potluck, this intimate evening offers a beautifully curated dining experience featuring dishes straight from the book, paired with thoughtful conversation about the inspiration and ethos behind it with Thomas Kostigan alongside Mark Easter, author of The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Change. Enjoy an unforgettable meal, connect with fellow food lovers, and leave inspired to bring more sustainable cooking into your own kitchen!

Thomas Kostigen is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling author and journalist. He founded the Climate Survivalist column for USA Today and has written for numerous publications, including the Washington Post, National Geographic, Discover, Departures, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Wall Street Journal, among others. He is the coauthor with celebrated actor and philanthropist Robert Downey Jr. of the instant New York Times and USA Today bestselling book Cool Food: How to Erase Your Carbon Footprint One Bite at a Time — a game-changing new food category and way of thinking that can help fix the climate.

* Robert Downey Jr. will not be in attendance
