The Kitchn Reader Feedback Session/Drinks Party! — Thursday, November 6th
Dear Readers,
Inspired by my trip to IKEA last June (where they constantly ask their customers questions and visit their homes), we are super excited to kick off our very first Reader Feedback Session for The Kitchn, here at our offices in NYC. If you are free on the evening, interested and want to tell us what you think and what you want MORE of, please head down below the jump, fill out the form and RSVP it to us. We’re going to start with only 10-15 folks since we don’t have a lot of room and try to mix up the crowd.
Best, Maxwell
Recipe: Pear Tart with Walnut Crust — Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
Fall is tart time for me, and I brought a few of my favorite autumn flavors to this dessert offering. It’s made with a rich walnutty tart crust, filled with creamy golden frangipane and topped with tender slices of spiced poached pears.
And it holds a little gift for those of us baking for a diverse group: it just happens to be gluten-free. Don’t you love desserts that do it all?

“Oatmeal Raisin Spice cookie mix in a jar with tag attached with directions on how to prepare the mix. These make wonderful gifts to give any time of year, and also for wedding favors, hostess gifts, baby showers, or take to a cookie exchange. Make sure to bake some up so people know what they taste like. Store in a cool dry place away from a heat source so condensation and clumping does not occur. Enjoy.”
