Cookbook Club is a podcast for home cooks, born from a real-life cookbook club in Portland, Oregon. Each month we pick one cookbook, cook a bunch of recipes from it, and talk honestly about what worked, what flopped, and what we’ll make again. We favor books you can find at your local library, including many by authors of color.
You’re the cookbook club now. Starting with Season 5, listeners are part of the show. Cook along with the book of the month, send a short voice memo about what you made to cookbookclubshow@gmail.com, and you might hear yourself on an episode.
Follow along on Instagram at @cookbookclubshow.
Your host: Renee Wilkinson
Renee grew up on an urban farm and now cooks for three kids and a partner who’ll eat almost anything. She’s a landscape architect, writer, and author of Modern Homestead. You can fall down a rabbit hole on her website.
She doesn’t mind a long ingredient list, but she can’t stand discovering a “nesting doll recipe” halfway through a recipe.
With gratitude to Sara Gray
Cookbook Club was co-founded by Renee and Sara Gray, who co-hosted the show’s first four seasons and 100 episodes. Sara, an award-winning baker and real estate agent, has stepped back to focus on her family and business. She’s still part of our real-life cookbook club, and her fingerprints are all over this show.
