San Diego Cookbook Club A creative twist on traditional book clubs - we meet monthly to share dishes based on a particular cookbook or theme. A crowdsourced feast!

The idea behind Cookbook Club is a simple one—a group of friends all make recipes from the same book and gather to share the results, a crowdsourced feast. It's like a book club, but with cookbooks! We have very few "rules" They are:
1) Choose a recipe you have not made before
2) Consider dishes that are easy to transport and can be served at room temperature
3) Bring your own serving utensils
4)

Follow the recipe exactly as written.
5) Don't multiply recipe to feed the whole crowd. We really just need a taste, especially if it's a larger gathering. Whether you're an avid or aspiring cook, there's room for you at the table!
