Cookbook club’s are the best! I’ve been leading one with my friends for the past few years and it’s been my favorite way to gather a group of friends and celebrate different cookbook authors!

I love that! How often do you guys meet? Is it coed? What are the fave cookbooks? I have so many questions for cookbook club organizers, haha

We meet once a month and it’s so far only been girls. It started with my core group of friends from growing up but expanded by several of them inviting others which has been such a fun way to meet new people! We haven’t been super strict about picking a specific cookbook, but typically will pick a cookbook author who has recipes online too for those that don’t have the physical cookbook (I.e. Molly Baz, ottolenghi, ina garten, etc!)

I have a group of gals hoping to kick ours off in Denver soon. Such a fun ritual to stay connected through friends and food :)

Obsessed with this idea! My go-to cookbooks in the kitchen are...

"Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables"

"Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico"

"The Pizza Bible"

Definitely need to expand my cooking literature 😉

I love and recommend all things Ottolenghi!! And Woks of Life for Chinese cooking.

Intrigued by the Oaxaca book—I love food from that region.
