Cookbook Club is no different than a traditional book club; a group of like-minded friends gather, they eat, drink and discuss a chosen book.
You’ve probably been a member of a book club at some point, and who doesn’t love broadening their horizons with a new book and good discussion? But if you end up attending mainly for the snacks at the end, then perhaps a cookbook club might be better for you! A cookbook club is much like a book club
A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start a cookbook club, so I asked a few friends at work and it turned into a lovely foodie gathering

For a long, long time, I’ve wanted to start a cookbook club, the kind where you all read the same book, prepare a recipe, and bring it to a pot-luck to share. There just wasn’t enough margin in my life before now; I couldn’t have added another event to the calendar. However, now that we...

My cookbook club and did a vegan 'high tea' On the plate, top going clockwise: cucumber sandwich, scone with strawberry jam and vegan cream, Brazilian cheeze bread, coconut date chocolate cookie, chickpea salad pinwheel, vegan egg salad sandwich, almond cardamom cake, and center is polenta w/ sun-dried tomato pesto. Everything was scrumptious.by mah_ree

We cooked and baked our way through this year's new releases to select this list of the best cookbooks for 2023. Find our tested recommendations here.
While Instagram may be the source of inspiration for beautiful, clutter-free homes and Amazon organization finds for some... I'm there for the food. And I saw some smartie pants mom post about a "cookbook club." What's a cookbook club? Everyone makes a recipe from the same cookbook and gets together for dinner. Brilliant! So fun!
New titles from Hetty Lui McKinnon, Nigel Slater, Andrea Nguyen, and more capture the excitement and promise of the season.

This sponsored post is written by me in conjunction with the The Book Club Cookbook for the third installment of their food blogger party feature. All opinions are my own. Here we are in the third month of the food blogger party feature on The Book Club Cookbook website and I'm thrilled to be part of this event. This month's title is Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking by Iron Chef Masahuru Morimoto.* You can check out details about the #JapaneseHomeCooking party: here. Let me start by saying that we don't have a TV. Well, we have a TV, but we don't pay for any stations. Everything we watch is streamed on Netflix and, thus, not current. So, I have only seen Iron Chef America when we've managed to catch it on the screen at hotels or friends' houses. Still I do know who Iron Chef Morimoto is and always chuckle when he makes a cameo appearance on Hawaii Five-0. I was excited to be invited to participate in this as Japanese food is something we love, but not something I cook often. On the Page As soon as I received my copy of Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking, I hunkered down on the couch with a pad of paper, ready to make a shopping list. Soon the pad of paper was shoved aside and I didn't want to pick a single recipe; I wanted to make them all! The photos are vibrant and beautiful. The book is organized logically from the foundations - dashi (stock), gohan (rice) - to similarly prepared dishes - yaku (to grill, broil, or sear), itame ru (to stir-fry) - all the way to gorgeous pickled extras in tsukeru (to pickle). Chef Masaharu Morimoto, owner of the popular Morimoto restaurants (I have never had the pleasure, though I think the closest one to me is in Napa), aims to make Japanese cuisine accessible to the home cook. In Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking, he introduces readers to some surprisingly simple dishes that are big on flavor. He helps readers build a pantry necessary to create Japanese food at home and he provides helpful instructions on turning those ingredients into wonderful meals. I will admit that Japanese cuisine is something that I most often leave to the experts. We have a favorite Japanese restaurant and I haven't had the need to really delve into Japanese recipes. Whenever any of us is in the mood for Japanese, we just head to Ocean Sushi and our friend Shiho takes care of all our cravings! But, with this cookbook, permanently stationed on my kitchen counter, I am bolstered and think: I can do it! On the Plate I tried several recipes from the book - and plan to make many, many more - but I will share two with you that were hits with my family. Sakana No Misoyaki Grilled Miso-Marinated Fish Four ingredients are all that it took to recreate his miso-marinated black cod. And, it just so happened, that the day I wanted to make this, there was fresh local black cod at my fish market. Serendipity! Ingredients serves 4 1 C miso (I used a white, light, sweet miso) 1 C organic granulated sugar 2 T sake (I used an organic sake I found at Whole Foods) 2 T mirin (sweet rice wine) 1 pound black cod, sliced into 1/4 lb filets Procedure Pour an inch of water into a saucepan and place a metal bowl suspended over the water - or you can use a double boiler if you have one. Combine the miso, sugar, sake, and mirin in the bowl. Bring the water to a boil and whisk until the sugar is dissolved, approximately 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. You will have about 1-1/2 C of marinade though you will only use 1/2 C for this recipe. It will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. Pat the filets dry and place them in a rimmed, lidded dish. Slather the filets with 1/2 C of marinade and let marinate from 8 to 12 hours. When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to broil with a rack about 4" from the heating element. Wipe off most of the marinade and slice each filet in half so you have four 1/4 lb filets. Place the filets, skin-side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil until the skin is browned all over and slightly charred in spots, approximately 5 minutes. Turn off the broilers and lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Continue to bake until the fish is just cooked through, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately. Tataki Kyuri Smashed Cucumber Pickles Not only is smashing the cucumbers fun and stress-relieving, that action helps so that the brine can penetrate the cucumbers more easily. Ingredients makes 3 cups 1 pound crunchy, narrow cucumbers (I used organic Persian cucumbers) 1 T + 1 t kosher salt 2" knob of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced one 3 to 4" piece dried kombu (dried kelp) 1/2 t dried red pepper chile flakes 3 T sesame seeds 1 T gluten-free soy sauce or tamari Procedure Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and cut them into 2" pieces. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, firmly slap each cucumber to bruise it. Hopefully it stays in 1 piece. Most of mine did. Combine the salt and water in a large container with an airtight lid and stir until the salt dissolves. Add the ginger, kombu, chile flakes, and cucumbers and stir well. Place a weight on top of the cucumbers to keep them submerged. Cover the container and refrigerate for between 24 and 72 hours. When you're ready to eat, toast the sesame seeds and let them cool. Crush them with a mortar and pestle and stir them into the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to create a paste. Spoon out the cucumbers and toss them with the sesame-soy paste. Serve immediately. While my boys all agreed that "Ms. Shiho's restaurant makes better food", they said that I did a good job. I'll take it!
