Hi, everyone! If you're in or around San Francisco next week, we wanted to invite you to an event at Omnivore Books:

• True Brews Tasting & Book Signing: Tuesday, May 21, 6-7pm, at Omnivore Books - Stop by for a taste of some of the sodas, kombuchas, beers, and wines from Emma's new book True Brews and have your book signed by the author! (See the Omnivore Books website for event details and directions.)

Welcome to Reader Request Week! This week we're devoting every single post, in one way or another, to topics specifically requested by our readers. We're pulling our post topics from our readers' requests here; we'll do as much as we can with them, including pulling up some posts from our archives that have already answered questions you're asking now.

So, welcome to Reader Request Week — thanks for playing along! 

Last year we ran a week of posts here at The Kitchn that were in response to reader requests. It was such a hit that we're doing it again! In two weeks, our Reader Requests Week will bring you only posts that were written in response to a question or request from a reader (we even note on the post who requested it!). 

We have about 80 post slots to fill, and we're wide open: What do you want to read about during Reader Request Week? Are there recipes you are looking for? Cooking lessons? Ingredient help? Product and kitchen design? Tell us! We'll draw post ideas from the comments here, so tell us what you'd like to see us write about and we'll get to work! 

The Gold Rush

It's Cocktail Week at The Kitchn, so we're going to be pushing nibbles and drinks on you all week, in one big happy hour. We'll have smart ideas for pitcher drinks and easy cocktails, little snacks to go with that drink (up first, savory scones!), and yes, plenty of non-alcoholic as well as alcoholic drinks that everyone can enjoy. What would you like to talk about this week? Any cocktail topics you're curious about or obsessed with at the moment? What's the best cocktail hour appetizer you've discovered lately? 

Discussing a shot with the visuals team on set in a Portland, Oregon winery!

It's been a long time coming. In the years since I started The Kitchn in 2005, Apartment Therapy has published three design books, and Faith and I have each published two of our own cookbooks, but until now, there hasn't been a cookbook to share The Kitchn with the world beyond the internet. 

For the last several months we've been hard at work on the biggest book yet. This 150-recipe cookbook and guide to the kitchen will showcase some of The Kitchn's most essential dishes, but primarily the book will feature new recipes we developed in the spirit of everything our readers love about The Kitchn: ease, accessibility, flavor, and fun. 

We're looking for a full time Office Manager/Personal Assistant to join our team in New York City. You should be excited about working at a start up, enthusiastic about home design and Apartment Therapy's mission. Read on for more info:

The McKinley-era White House kitchen in 1901

Happy Presidents' Day! We're taking the day off, but we've still got some great cooking coming to you later today, including a tuna melt recipe made with olive oil mayonnaise and parmesan, and a roundup of ten recipes we love so much that we have them memorized - and we think you should, too! Enjoy the day, and we'll see you back online tomorrow! More

Where do you cook? Is it a little kitchen with big ideas, or a big kitchen with loads of enviable counter space? Is it an apartment kitchen with a city view, or a cottage with a garden? We want to see where and how you cook. Would you like your kitchen to be featured in a tour on The Kitchn? We're looking for kitchen tours in the NYC metropolitan/tristate area, as well as in Portland. We love kitchens with good stories — charming, edgy, inspiring, surprising — and we're looking for kitchens of all shapes, colors, and sizes!

We've put together a short submission form to make the process easy for anyone who wants to share their space with the community. On submissions: the sooner, the better! More

If so, we may be looking for you. We are looking to hire a few new Kitchen Tour contributors for the site. Interested? Read on to see what we're looking for. More
