Book Tour
It is with great (bonkers, crazy, awesome!!!!) excitement that I announce my first book tour! I’m tempted to type this in all caps… because I am, in fact, yelling!
I’ll be traveling to seven cities around the country, to meet YOU, sign your book, and hug it out. I can’t wait to meet you!
I’ve been writing this little blog for four years now. Whether you’ve been here for a week, or for the full four years… you’ve always been there, and I’ve always been here. This March we have the opportunity the be in the same space. Together!
I’m bound to do something awkward. I hope to sport sweet nail polish… and if I can keep lipstick on my lips , I’ll do it.
It’s so important to me that I meet you, chat, and high-five. I’ll be signing books, and even doing cooking demonstrations in some cities. Please come out and say hello… otherwise it might just be me and my Sharpie… talk about awkward!
The Joy the Baker Cookbook is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Thank you (from deep inside my heart) to all of you who have already pre-ordered the book. I can’t wait for you to have it!
An Important Note:
I feel so blessed to be able to visit these seven cities. The cookbook and this book tour really are a dream come true. It’s also my dream to be whisked around the country on book tour, but that’s just not my reality.
It’s super important for me to come meet you, so I’m taking care of the travel myself. I want to meet as many of you as I can. If I can make my way to your city, please trust that I will try my hardest to do so.
Please check back here as I will add more cities as I am able.
I’m so excited! Let’s cookbook!

You should have more NY locations! Everyone always takes a tour to NYC…How about Upstate?
Giada came to Upstate once, to a book signing in Williams Sonoma, but I rarely hear about other chefs coming anywhere close to my location. I’d love to meet you, I have so many questions! I love your blog and think I could learn a lot from your advice, especially since my skills aren’t anywhere near yours.
Please, please come to North Carolina! It’s almost SPRING here!! And we could always use a little JOY around! Please won’t you come to the Carolinas??
I agree! I am in NC too!
3rd vote for NC here! Or at least a Washington DC? Give me something in the southeast!
I’m going to try to get to Chicago, but it would be a whole heck of a lot nicer if you could come to Indianapolis. I’m so excited for this and am very happy for you. Congratulations!!
Minneapolis-St. Paul would love to see you! We’re warm-hearted folk (it’s not as cold as you think) and great hosts! If not this tour, then definitely add MSP to your “to see” list. And it’s true, from April-October, it’s heavenly here. Congratulations on your book – what a fantastic accomplishment!
Dubai’s too far?… oh well, maybe when you’ve taken over the worrld :-)
If I pre-order your book on Amazon how will you sign it in San Francisco? Will I get it in time?! Ps. I’m so flipping excited to meet you on your adventure!
Come to DC! It’s such a quick trip from NYC! I hope you get to add more dates!!
i’m with nikki! would love to see you in dc!
Hi! I’m with Nikki and Jennie! DC would show you so much love! Please try to make it out! (PS Can’t wait until my book arrives from Amazon!) (It’s a lot of exclamation points, I know.)
I second (or third) this! Please, please come to DC!
yes!! DC, please!!
I’m a few short hours from DC and would also travel to see you! Baltimore would also work ;) Good luck Joy! I’m so excited for you!
But what about Canada? I live in Ottawa! Come to Ottawa!
You are going to love Brooklyn and BK kitchen sooooo much you will never want to leave!
Philly, please.
awww, you’re not coming to austin! saaaad.
I would echo the comments of coming to Indianapolis because it’s close to Chicago, but I’m totes going to be in Chicago on March 24 already! Hooray! Indianapolis is still a pretty cool place to stop through though :)
You have got to be kidding me. You will be in my neck of the woods at Left Bank Books in St. Louis while I’m in CA.
I’m at Left Bank all the time. I’m NEVER in CA.
Boo.
Joy, I live in London, England, and assuming you don’t change your mind and decide to come here (I have a little dog you can play with!) my sister will be coming to see you in San Francisco on my behalf. She and I look a lot alike,so it will kind of be the same.
Come to cincinnati please!!!
Come to Ireland!! You’ve got a massive fan over here!!
*Crossing my fingers for a Philly stop over* I can guarantee you an extensive amount of high fives in the city of brotherly love!
Pleeeeaaase come to Fort Worth!
So excited to welcome you to St. Louis again! Thanks for thinking of us.
Another vote here for a visit to Washington, DC!
How about Balmer? (aka Baltimore).
Even DC would be close enough!
please come to to salt lake city.. We have a huge population of bloggers here. Im sure you will have a lot of followers. I love you, your blog, your podcasts and have pre ordered your book!! thanks for all you do.
Joy,
I have been faithfully following your blog for the past year and love it, your recipes, and your upcoming cookbook. I can_not_wait_ to meet you in person at Omnivore Books in San Francisco!!! Thanks for making a stop in my city!
i am beyond ecstatic that you are coming to the BK.. Brooklyn that is.. how cool.. can’t wait.. and on my Birthday.. it was meant to be :-)
So, what WILL it take for you to come to Texas? Pecan pie? BBQ? Rodeo? Name a hurricane after you (Hurricane Joythebaker)?
Seriously, all the best on your book tour – you will be amazing!
P.s. why don’t they use a tall table & bar stool at book signings, so you can sit but still be eye to eye with folks?
Come to Phoenix! Maybe not in the summer…it feels like an oven! But maybe that’s ok, seeming that we are bakers and spend lots of time around ovens. We should be used to it by now.
Super excited for you to have your first tour!! You definitely deserve it, every entry leaves me either drooling or laughing out loud…usually both. It’s actually kind of disgusting, but my boyfriend gets to try every recipe I glean from you so he loves me anyway. On another note – PLEASE come to Baltimore soon! Or DC, or Philly, or hell, I’d even travel up to New York for ya. The east coast is dying for a visit!
Oh wait, you are coming to New York – I’m the jerk that’s busy that day. Ah well, here’s lookin’ at many more tours to come.
Joy!!! Hello! I have recently discovered you and your incredible blog just this past year and I must tell you I am head over heels in LOVE with all your delicious recipes, many of which I have tried and shared with my friends, my always willing taste testers. THANK YOU thank you thank you for your constant positive attitude, wit, and sheer love for life. Its refreshing and very much appreciated to read your story and how you have taken your passion for food and are able to share it with others in such a beautiful way. I am about to graduate this May from Louisiana State University with nothing definite on the horizon besides moving to New Orleans and knowing that whatever I do with my life must involve food. Sorry this is a bit on the novel worthy, lengthy side but here I arrive to my main point- BOOK TOUR. So you know what is a beautiful part of this country. The southeast. You know where there are tons of incredible restaurants to try while one might be traveling around on, oh I don’t know…say a book tour. The southeast. Especiaaaaally the great, the “cannot be compared to any other place because it’s just that amazing and unique” city of New Orleans. I beg you to consider coming a little closer to me, I know this is a lot to request but a little trip to Nola will sure make it worth your while!!! And the food…haha oooooh the food. I say this with full confidence- we know what we’re doin in the food department. So many restaurants, sooo much love for food down here…there’s an energy and culture to this city like no other. Ya gotta come, ya just gotta! Or at least closer than St. Louis!! :)
from your friend, fan, and fellow bourbon lover down here in da big easy, Happy Mardi Gras Joy!
Callie
You’re coming so close, make a stop in Minneapolis/St.Paul!!! We are major bakers here, being a city that got it’s start in part with flour! It’s so lovely here in the summer and have you heard of the Minnesota State Fair? It’s the biggest 2 week fair in the country and Lots of bakers show up! We would love to meet you Joy!
Come to Minneapolis! We would love to have you!
Toronto (Canada) is where it’s at! Just saying… ;)
You can visit the CN Tower, eat street meat, meet a Canadian boy, hang out at The Cookbook Store and… it will be maple syrup season!
yes! I’m with the ladies above on a nod for coming to DC. need a place to stay? I’m sure we can work something out!
Hi Joy!
I can’t wait for your book to be released and for the Enjoy gift to arrive! I’m dying over here and am considering camping out by my mailbox until the mailman comes with goodies from you. I know you’re funding this tour on your own and your dates are probably all set…but can I suggest you consider making a trip out to Las Vegas, NV?!? It’s pretty awesome out here…just so ya’know! ;) I would offer up our spare room, except it’s covered in random things that need to be donated and we have a giant half Dane/half-horse puppy that might scare your cat loving heart. :)
Happy Mardi Gras!
Vanessa
Joy. I can’t wait to come to your book signing. I am a new groupie. Made your salted carmel cheesecake pie for a contest, and your coconut roasted kale, both were crazy good. Love the podcast too. Hope that you’re having fun with the book tour….see you in a few days.
Eh hem…Australia? Perth maybe?
Long shot..
Boston, love! :) xo. so excited for you Joy!
Bermuda? Might be a strectch …however i’ll be in brooklyn end of March so I will be at the Brooklyn Kitchen signing. I’ve got your cook book on pre order now. I am excited!
