Thank you for joining The Cookbook Club! By supporting my Patreon, you’re helping build a community all about good food and good people. Together, let’s make home cooking less stressful and more rewarding! 

How does The Cookbook Club work?

This club is all about taking a look behind the scenes at the cookbook writing process—and being part of it yourself! I’ll share in-progress recipes as I’m testing, experimenting, and finalizing them and hope you’ll join me for some of these tests in your own home kitchens. Occasionally, I may also invite some guest chefs into the kitchen to share their recipes with you. Together, we'll figure out what's working and what needs tweaking.

Talk with fellow Cookbook Club members in a private community chat to show off your dishes, ask questions, or share a favorite story from your test kitchen. Cookbook Club members also enjoy all the benefits of the previous tiers, so stay tuned for other forms of bonus content from the kitchen including articles, livestreams, and more. 

Thank you so much for being here; our community of passionate home cooks is what makes this all so rewarding for me. Now, let's get cooking!

Thank you for joining The Cookbook Club! By supporting my Patreon, you’re helping build a community all about good food and good people. Together, let’s make home cooking less stressful and more rewarding! 

How does The Cookbook Club work?

Each month, you’ll be provided with a recipe that’s currently in development alongside a feedback form. From there, we'll figure out what's working and what needs tweaking.

Talk with fellow Cookbook Club members in a private community chat to show off your dishes, ask questions, or share a favorite story from your test kitchen. Cookbook Club members will also enjoy occasional cook-along livestreams of our in-development recipes. To get started, please fill out this intro survey.

And please note, you’re free to share photos and what the dish is with your friends, family, and social media, but please avoid publishing the written recipe online. Thank you for keeping this a spoiler-free community!
