Summer is for adventures. What if yours has been here all along?
Ink & Ingredients returns on Monday, June 29 from 7-9 p.m. at The Durham Hotel for an evening built around Curvy Girl Summer, a story about a woman who spends a whole summer searching for something extraordinary, only to find it was right in front of her. Sound familiar?
Your ticket includes a drink from the Durham Hotel bar on arrival, and then the team gets to work, mixing mocktails together the way the book’s bartender does it: with care, with flair and with the understanding that what you put in is exactly what you get out.
Reflect on the book’s big questions, learn a few real techniques, and spend the evening in good company doing exactly what you deserve to be doing.
What to expect:
- A welcome drink from the bar included with your ticket
- Hands-on mocktail lesson inspired by the book
- Guided reflection prompts connected to the story
- Community, conversation and something good to sip
- Read the book before you come, and if you don’t have a copy yet, grab one from your favorite local bookshop. We recommend Daughters Coffee & Books – you get a discount when you mention the book club.
This is a space for Black women’s stories, food and self-discovery. Everyone who walks through that door belongs there.
