Kat Ashmore

Join us at ‘the UNITED Table’ as we partner with the UNITED Theatre to host Kat Ashmore, the Chef, Recipe Developer, and Digital Creator behind Kat Can Cook, to celebrate the release of her new cookbook BIG BITES. Kat will be in conversation with Gail Ciampa, Food Editor at The Providence Journal.

TICKET NOTE: This event is FREE, however pre-registration is required. The event is in the post credits event and gallery space at the UNITED. This is a general admission ticketed event with first-come first-serve seating.

From the creator of Kat Can Cook comes 110 simple, nourishing, mostly gluten-free recipes that are big on flavor and reimagine the concept of “healthy food.”

Kat Ashmore’s mission is to empower hungry readers everywhere to feed themselves and their loved ones well and have fun doing it. Rather than focusing on restriction or deprivation, she asks: What can we add to our plates? After she turned to TikTok for a creative outlet, her series of big, meal-in-a-bowl salads, known affectionately as “Hungry Lady Salads,” went viral on social media, and she found a likeminded community of home cooks who wanted to fall in love with cooking again.

In Ashmore’s debut cookbook, she shares 110 wholesome, comforting mostly gluten-free recipes that are full of flavor, nourishment, and fun—and meant to be devoured in big bites! With her signature personality and joy, this cookbook is a celebration of nature and seasonality and encourages home cooks to rethink familiar ingredients. From Hungry Lady Salads and weeknight dinners to snacks and desserts, Big Bites shares recipes for:

Breakfasts: Avocado Toast with Hot Honey; Goat Cheese Fried Eggs
Snacks: Burrata with Roasted Grapes; 5-Minute Tzatziki
Hungry Lady Salads: Shaved Caesar Salad with Fennel and Crispy Chickpeas; Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Sesame Date Dressing
Weeknights: Honey Mustard Roasted Salmon; One-Pot Pasta with Chicken Sausage + Broccoli
Sunday Suppers: The Ultimate Beef Meatloaf with Caramelized Onions and Horseradish; Crispy Cod Cakes with Tartar Sauce
Veggies + Sides: Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes; Parmesan Roasted Zucchini
Desserts: Orange Ricotta Company Cake; Extra Fudgy Avocado Brownies
Secret Weapons: Quick Pickled Red Onions; Any-Green Sauce

Bring joy back into your kitchen with Kat Ashmore and Big Bites!
