James will be moderating a panel with his creative team: Heami Lee (Photographer), Pearl Jones (Food Stylist), and Gozde Eker (Prop stylist), for a spicy, fun conversation.    Expect the panel discussion to start just after 6p, a Q + A with all of you, complimentary sweet and savory snacks from the book, and a signing.
