An open Brown Butter subscriber box, its lid printed with the Brown Butter logo and berry-and-cream tissue folded along the sides. Nestled in cream crinkle paper: the cookbook Brown Sugar Kitchen by Tanya Holland, a Brown Butter recipe-card pack with a pencil, and a bottle of Hot N Saucy Garlic N Peperoncini hot sauce.
A sample box. Selections change every month.

What’s inside

Three things worth unwrapping.

Each month’s box is put together by hand, so the book and the pantry pairing make sense together.

01

A curated cookbook

One cookbook chosen for its cooking and its stories, from home kitchens and restaurant favorites to regional traditions and the voices behind them.

02

A pantry pairing

A sauce, spice, mix or other pantry find picked to cook with that month’s book. Use it for a recipe in the book, then keep reaching for it.

03

Recipe cards & pencil

A pack of our A Recipe Worth Keeping cards with a pencil, for writing down the dishes that become yours.

A sample box

Brown Sugar Kitchen, with a splash of Garlic N Peperoncini.

Tanya Holland’s Brown Sugar Kitchen with Hot N Saucy’s Garlic N Peperoncini Hot Sauce

The book

New-style, down-home recipes from Tanya Holland’s restaurant in West Oakland. It’s soul food made for sharing, from the breakfast table to Sunday supper.

The pairing

A garlicky green hot sauce from Hot N Saucy, on the mild end of their heat scale. It brightens rich, savory food without taking over the plate.

Try it with

  • Chicken and waffles, the dish on the cover
  • A pot of greens, just before serving
  • Butter for warm cornbread, stirred in to taste

Shown to illustrate the kind of pairing we put together. Each month’s selection is different.

How we choose

Every box starts with a book we’d cook from ourselves.

Then we find something for the pantry that belongs next to it.

Books with a point of view

We look for cookbooks shaped by a person, a place or a tradition, with recipes you’ll actually make and stories you’ll want to read.

Pairings with a purpose

The pantry item is chosen for that month’s book, so it works with the recipes in your hands.

Variety across the year

We move between cuisines, cooks and seasons, so the club keeps introducing you to new kitchens.

Packed by hand

Every box is wrapped in our own tissue, with a padded spot for anything in a bottle or jar.
