From 9 PM to whenever, expect pool games, darts, good drinks, music, and a social crowd that actually wants to meet people. The vibe is welcoming, easygoing, and fun from the moment you walk in. Whether you come solo or with friends, you’ll have people to talk to, games to jump into, and a reason to stay longer than planned.
We’ll be hanging around the pool tables and darts area all night, so come grab a drink and join us. The Passport is right across from Cantina, making it the perfect after party spot once the Single's Mixer wraps up.

# The Rice Cooker Cookbook Launch Party at Pearl Street Farmers Market

Come celebrate the launch of The Rice Cooker Cookbook — Book 1 of The Modular Cooking Series with author, cancer survivor, and passionate home cook Saura Johnston at the Pearl Street Farmers Market!

Every RSVP receives a digital copy of the book at a 30% discount!

This cookbook was created around a simple idea: healthy, plant-based cooking should be fast, affordable, flexible, and realistic for everyday life. With more than 50 totally vegan rice cooker recipes, most requiring under 10 minutes of prep time, the book is designed to help you eat more vegetables without spending hours in the kitchen.

At the launch party, stop by to meet Saura, learn about the Modular Cooking Method, explore ways to turn simple ingredients into multiple different meals, and discover how a basic rice cooker can become one of the easiest tools in your kitchen.

Expect a fun, casual farmers market celebration centered around good food, healthy living, community, and making plant-based eating feel approachable rather than complicated.

The cookbook focuses on:

• Fast, easy, plant-based meals for real life
• Farmers market vegetables and seasonal produce
• Simple recipes with endless possible modifications
• Affordable meals and reducing food waste
• Cooking smaller portions for one or two people
• Eating a greater variety of vegetables, beans, whole grains, herbs, spices, nuts, and seeds
• Making healthy food easier even when you're busy, tired, or don't love cooking
• Building confidence to cook without needing to follow every recipe perfectly

The Rice Cooker Cookbook is more than a collection of recipes. It's an introduction to a more flexible way of cooking—one where you learn the basic formula and then make it your own.
Whether you're vegan, vegan-curious, trying to eat more vegetables, cooking for one, looking to save money on food, or simply wondering what else your rice cooker can do, come say hello!
