Summer 2024 Cookbook Club
Join other curious, adventurous cooks to explore specially chosen cookbooks and go beyond the experience of cooking.
- Dive into the culture behind the cooking styles. Understand what makes them unique and how they developed
- Increase your kitchen skills through personalized instruction from renowned culinary instructor and historian Annette Tomei
- Make friends with like-minded cooks from all over the country
- Expand your culinary experiences, learning about new techniques, ingredients, and flavors
You’ll receive:
- One specially selected cookbook each month (we'll go easy this season with one reading book)
- Thoughtfully planned menu “assignments” and additional curated information
- Two 90-minute scheduled Zoom discussion sessions per month (recorded in case you can’t make it at the last minute)
- One monthly Q&A session with the authors or someone else relevant (during the scheduled sessions or in addition)
- Access to a private moderated community on Google Classroom
Each month you’ll:
- Cook confidently from a new cookbook
- Learn what other cooks discovered and liked from the same book
- Share your success stories and ask questions about what you cooked and ate
- Be guided by Chef Annette, who has more than 30 years of experience as a cooking instructor and restaurant chef, as well as a master’s degree in gastronomy
