About Cookbook Club

Our Cookbook Club is a collaborative, community-style gathering for people who love to cook, share food, and gather around a really good table.

Everyone chooses one recipe from the book, prepares it at home, and brings it to share. By the end of the night, we’ve collectively cooked and tasted our way through as much of the cookbook as possible!

How It Works

The Ambitious Kitchen Cookbook by Monique Volz is our September selection.

Each attendee chooses one recipe from the book. Recipes are submitted ahead of time through a Google Form sent after ticket purchase, which helps us avoid duplicates.

Bring your dish ready to serve in small tasting portions. You can portion it yourself, or our BVM team can help during the evening.

There is no need to double your recipe. Sample-sized portions are perfect!

By the end of the night, we hope to have a table filled with nourishing breakfasts, hearty salads, cozy dinners, breads, snacks, and plenty of sometimes-indulgent desserts. Basically, a little bit of everything and absolutely nothing boring!
