Welcome to Cookbook Club!

Hi, hello! Does this thing work? Let’s find out together! Consider this basecamp for all things cookbook club launch! Kicking things off with a list of hypothetical questions you, dear reader, might be mulling over! Something else you’re curious about? Drop it in the comments!

What’s a cookbook club?

Exactly what it sounds like–neighbors, pals, and strangers gathering together to discuss and eat select recipes from one cookbook; we’re meeting 6 times a year, roughly every 8 weeks!

How do I join?

Very simple! Purchase your book on the O&D webshop. That’s your ticket to attend. Come to every meeting, or just a handful. It’s up to you! Already have the book in question? We hope you’ll make a friend or four that brighten your orbit and help expand your culinary skills.

Do I need to be a Top Chef?

Absolutely not! You don’t have to be an expert cook, just a curious one. We encourage everyone to gather with a beginners mindset. We’re here, first and foremost, to be in community! Added bennies: building our culinary skills, experimenting, and learning about more cuisines.

What should I bring?

We’re gathering around *le blog* to chat about the book and build a menu that forms a balanced take on the cookbook. Call dibs on a recipe early on, or spend a few weeks mulling things over. Feeling totally inspired to bring more than on? Go wild, sis.

What to expect from O&D:

Bring yourself and your dish! We’ve got the rest covered, i.e., table setting, linens, serving utensils, silverware, and Tupperware to take home leftovers. We’ll also provide wine and non-alcoholic beverage pairings. We don’t have a sink big enough for bulk dishwashing (yet), so we ask that you kindly bring home the container you brought your meal in.
