Join us at Sor Ynez for a celebration of food, agave, and conversation with acclaimed drinks writer Caroline Pardilla, celebrating her new book, Margarita Time. Guests will enjoy a four-course, family-style feast—three savory dishes and one sweet—paired with four snack-size margaritas inspired by the colorful array featured in Caroline’s book! Caroline will guide us through the drinks of the evening with stories and annecdotes from their makers! The night begins at 6:00 PM with mingling and drinks available for purchase at the bar, followed by dinner service at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $125 and include a signed copy of the book, food, margarita pairings, tax, and tip.

Cookbooks & Convos, presented by Sisterly Love Collective, is a vibrant culinary experience celebrating the incredible women shaping Philadelphia’s food scene. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower and honor the female chefs and authors whose talents keep the city’s culinary culture thriving.

Recognizing the enduring charm of the beloved “The Book and The Cook” festival (1984–2007), Sisterly Love Collective set out to rekindle its spirit in a contemporary format. Cookbooks & Convos carries this tradition forward with a fresh twist—a celebration of culinary excellence and an invitation to connect, learn, and be inspired by the rich tapestry of women’s contributions to the culinary world. ALL ARE WELCOME!

The 2025 series will run from October 27 to November 10, featuring special dinners, author meet-and-greets, and engaging culinary events.
