“You may not be able to travel to every country in the world, but your tastebuds can!”
In anticipation of her cookbook, Catch Me In The Kitchen: 195 Recipes: One Dish From Every Country in the World, set to be published in January 2027, Jessica Nabongo is taking your palate around the world to some of her favorite food countries, all without leaving the United States!
This summer, she hosted dinners at restaurants she loves, each celebrating a different country's cuisine: Senegalese in New Orleans, Lebanese in Detroit, and Georgian in New York City. A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us so far. Sharing these meals with you has been one of the best parts of the journey!
Supper Club will be back in 2027 when the book is out, with Jessica there in person at every dinner, pouring wine, telling stories, and eating the best food alongside you. Stay tuned for new dates and cities, and don’t forget to preorder the cookbook in the meantime!
