so you want to join a nyc cookbook club...
welcome, introductions, and cookbook club invites
TL;DR:
Subscribing to this Substack is FREE, however paid subscribers will get first access to my cookbook clubs.
If you are looking to host your own or join a cookbook club that is NOT organized by me, please join the cookbook club discord.
Hello! I’m Stephanie, a NYC-based content creator, cookbook club host, and all around enjoyer of a good time. I’ve documented my home lunches, cooking projects, cookbook explorations, and the occasional recipe on my Instagram page.
You’re probably here from Instagram or a TikTok video or Cherrybombe The Future of Food Is You podcast and looking to get involved with cookbook club. You’ve come to the right place! I started a monthly community cookbook club in my 1BR apartment in Brooklyn with 20 people and now, there are so many people interested that I cannot keep up. THANK YOU for the overwhelming interest in my cookbook club.
Moving forward…
As much as I’d love to host everyone that’s interested, I’m coming to terms with the fact that it’s not feasible for me to host 2,000+ people (that’s a whole damn conference, which would be amazing…maybe in the future!). However, I want to empower you to start your own cookbook club, meet new people, and share your love of cooking. Two options if you want to join a cookbook club…
Start your own cookbook club
If you are interested in running your own cookbook club in New York City (or elsewhere), I’d love to help facilitate, provide information about how I do things, recommend cookbooks, and connect you with people in your area. Join the cookbook club discord to connect with hosts and people in your local area.
Join my cookbook club
If you are interested in attending the cookbook club that I host monthly, I will be implementing a tiered system with spots allocated to each of these three groups:
Paid Substack subscribers + OG members (early access to invites, giveaways, newsletters, and more!)
Free Substack subscribers and anyone else, first come first serve.
The goal here is to balance the existing community that has attended previous events while welcoming new members. You’re considered an OG member if you have attended one of the first 4 events. If that’s you, please consider supporting my Substack. If you are an OG member, and the price is prohibitive to you, please message me directly and I can provide you with a free paid subscription.
Generally, my cookbook club events have a capacity of 50 people, cost $5 to $20, and are located in Brooklyn. RSVPs/invites on Partiful sold out in 5 minutes for the past few events, so becoming a paid subscriber will get you early access, in addition to providing me with the ability to plan ahead, pay vendor deposits in advance, and allow some more creative freedom with what the event might look like.
This Substack will serve as your go-to place for monthly cookbook club invites. Subscribing is free, but if you decide to contribute as a paid subscriber, you’ll get early access to invites, as well as other fun stuff.
Hey Stephanie just came across this today. I clicked the discord link but it looks like it may be broken. Is there another way we can access or an updated link? Thx
