Book signing with author Shay Spence for her cookbook Meals You Can't Mess Up at BookPeople.
Shay Spence is coming to BookPeople on Thursday, October 8, to talk about his new cookbook, Meals You Can't Mess Up. The session starts at 6 PM on the second floor of the bookstore at 603 North Lamar Boulevard, and it's free and open to the public.
Spence is a food and travel writer who built the book around a simple, practical goal: creating dishes as foolproof as possible for people who aren't practiced in the kitchen. He's got the professional background to back it up—he attended the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City and spent seven years as the food editor for People magazine. These days he works as a full-time social media content creator, with more than 1.7 million followers on TikTok and over 500,000 on Instagram. He also spent ten episodes as a contestant on the second season of Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef on Fox, and has written People cover stories on Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman, and Ina Garten. He lives in Key West, Florida, with his husband.
