How it Works

COOK THE BOOK CLUB

From the beginner to the advanced, our Cook the Book Club idea is a unique approach to becoming a better home cook. You’ll try new recipes, new ingredients and learn cooking tips and techniques to cook up confidence in your kitchen.

HOW IT WORKS

Get the book:
Our current pick is Mario Batali's new Italian Grill. This book is filled with simple recipes for summer cooking. Grilled Artichokes with Mint & Chili, Pizza with Hot Salami & Pecorino, and Mussels alla Piastra with Prosciutto Bread Crumbs are a few we can't wait to try.

Cook the Book:
Gather a few friends (start your own cookbook club– we did), cook with your partner, cook with family, or enjoy cooking alone, but try cooking from the book for a 4-6 week period in your own kitchen. For some this may be trying one new recipe a week, leaving the book on your counter, cooking a weekend dinner, or carrying it to the grocery for some inspiration.

Share What You Have Learned:
As you cook, take notes, write in your book (we relish a used cookbook with the chef’s adaptations and personal annotations written in the margins) and share with us what you have learned (likes and dislikes) by submitting comments online at Loulies.
