What we’re about
Welcome to our Cookbook & Conversation Club where we focus on recipes and relationships! Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out in the kitchen, there's a place for you in our community of food lovers and friends. We love to make new friends, but this group is invite-only to uphold the intention and intimacy of the dinner party atmosphere we strive to cultivate.
Our Values
- Community: We believe cooking is a labor of love and a gift to be shared with others around a table with meaningful conversation.
- Fun: Whether you are trying a new technique, experimenting with a new ingredient, exploring a new cuisine, or meeting a new friend - we hope that these events inspire fun and joy.
- Respect: We treat each other and our creations with respect- in the kitchen, at the table, and when we interact online.
- Food: We welcome all cooking abilities! Please let the organizer know if you have any food allergies or restrictions and we can decide together if this group is right for you.
How It Works
-
We host one gathering a month at a member's home.
-
We rotate the hosting home each month. Members can opt-in to the hosting rotation list, and can participate in cookbook club without hosting a gathering.
-
Each member selects and cooks one dish from the cookbook of the month. They cook this dish at home, and serve it family-style at the gathering.
-
The cookbook of the month is selected by a rotating member. They should bring the cookbook to the previous month's event so that members can have an opportunity to select a recipe without buying the cookbook.
Some Logistical Notes
-
We cap the attendance of each gathering to 10 people to ensure comfortable space and meaningful conversation. Members sign up to the event on a first-come basis.
-
Members can join a waitlist per event. They will automatically be invited to the event if a spot opens up.
-
If a member cannot join an event they committed to, they should change their RSVP within 5 days of the event to allow another member to go.
-
Sometimes life happens though! If you need to cancel your RSVP within 5 days of the event, please text the organizer and the hosting member of the month (in addition to changing their RSVP).
