James Lane Post Cookbook Brunch At Southampton Inn With Authors Jenn Lueke, Susan Spungen, Suzanne Vizethann, Stacy Dermont, & Joni Brosnan

James Lane Post held its Cookbook Brunch on Saturday, April 11, at the Southampton Inn. Guests enjoyed a delicious 3-course brunch by Chef Michael Jeanty with complimentary flowing wine from RGNY x James Lane Post, and delighted in cookbook signings with talented chefs and authors Jenn Lueke, Susan Spungen, Suzanne Vizethann, Stacy Dermont, and Joni Brosnan, hosted by James Lane Post Editor-At-Large Bridget LeRoy. Burton’s Books was there to sell books, and there was a pop-up by NOFO Style.

A portion of the proceeds from the brunch tickets and all proceeds from the raffle went to benefit Share the Harvest Farm, a non-profit farm dedicated to fighting food insecurity on the East End.
