The Cookbook Shop's Winter Food & Drink Preview

The Cookbook Shop is opening its doors to customers for a winter food and drink preview on Thursday 12 November, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at 19A Leith Walk. If you've been in before, you know the shop stocks a wide array of local and international drinks, snacks and specialty ingredients alongside the books, and this evening is a chance to see how they put that selection together.

The idea is simple: the shop is bringing in a range of new and unusual products for the winter season, and they're inviting people in to taste them and help decide what makes the cut. It's a relaxed, pressure-free tasting session, so there's no rush to make a decision on the spot. You just work your way through the spread and let them know what you think. There are plant-based and gluten-free options included, and it's open to all ages, though under-16s need to bring an adult.

If you do find something you can't leave without, there's a 10% discount on anything you buy on the night. Tickets are £11.55 and are sold through Eventbrite, so you'll want to book your spot in advance. It runs from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at The Cookbook Shop, 19A Leith Walk, EH7 4AF.
