Level up with a new cooking adventure from home every month

You’re right for Cooking Club if…

…you love to cook and would welcome an “excuse” to spread your wings in the kitchen

…you’re the person at the dinner party who is actually interested in finding out where the mushrooms were foraged

…you’d like to expand your pantry to include more interesting ingredients, but also want to be sure you know how to use them

…there are cooking techniques you’ve heard of and always wanted to try, but you haven’t had a chance to figure out yet

…you love exploring cultures, cuisines and culinary traditions from around the world

…you have fun impressing your family and friends with your cooking skills, and would love to master some new recipes to share with them

…you’d like to have a community of home cooks who “get” you, because they’re just as enthusiastic about food and cooking as you are

You’re in the right place!

In Cooking Club, you’ll learn new skills, cook with new ingredients, and spend time with fellow members who are just as passionate about leveling up in the kitchen as you are. Come on in!

Here’s what life is like as a Cooking Club member:

With full access to exclusive member content 24/7...

…when you’re curious about a new ingredient you can scroll through our Ingredient Spotlight database for tips and info on 3+ years of spices we’ve already covered. Plus all the new things coming your way this year. That’s a lot!

…when you’re planning a dinner party, date night or celebration you can check out the Recipe Library, where you can find the perfect recipe for your special day.

…when you want to learn a new technique like dumpling folding, making perfect pie crust or making a traditional curry, you can look through the Video Vault to find the recorded cooking class that covers that topic.

With a new live (virtual) cooking class each month...

…you’ll learn to make a new dish every month! With real-time access to Lynley during the class, you can ask questions and make a delicious recipe, right then and there.

…you’ll improve your cooking as you learn new skills and techniques each month.

…you’ll be cooking within a community of cooks just like you! We’re a fun and supportive group in a virtual room together, making the same recipe at the same time.

…you can relax because it’s all recorded so you can always catch the replay. With full access to every recording for as long as you’re a member you can go at your own pace, all good!

In our private Facebook community...

…you’ll have a place to meet fellow curious home cooks who are cooking along in the same cadence with you every month! It’s a fun and supportive group where we ask questions, brag about our latest travels and triumphs, and chat about food and cooking with Lynley and our members.

…you’ll get sneak previews and updates so you’ll always know what’s happening, and what’s coming next.

So don’t dilly dally!

Some questions you might have before joining Cooking Club:

When are the Zoom classes?

Zoom classes are once a month on Thursday evenings, 7-9pm Eastern time. You’ll receive a schedule in advance, so you can plan!

What happens if I can’t make the live Zoom class?

No worries! Every class is recorded and you’ll get the replay in email the next day. You’ll also have access to our Video Vault, with every Zoom recording from the beginning of Cooking Club, for as long as you’re a member.

How do I get the recipes and shopping lists each month?

The recipe for each month’s Zoom class will be emailed to you about a week before the class, along with a shopping list. Everything will also be posted in the Member Portal and on our private Facebook page. So you’ll know exactly what to get, and have time to shop for it.

How adventurous are the recipes and shopping lists?

Cooking Club is for curious cooks so we try to include something in each month’s recipe that might be new and fun for adventurous cooks to learn about. So some months you might make a trip to the Asian or Latin market for some ingredients. (Fun!) But don’t worry if time is tight - we provide substitutes and walk you through everything, so each recipe will turn out great whether you have time for an extra shopping trip or not. All good!

I’m super busy! Can I go at my own pace?

Yes! You’ll get unlimited access to all the videos and content, so you can access any lesson whenever you’re ready.

Are the recipes spicy?

Sometimes, but not usually! The focus is on flavor and cooking techniques, not spicy heat. So while some months might call for a spicier chile, most months feature a spice or ingredient that is not “hot.” And no matter what, you can make adjustments to the recipe to meet your needs. All good!

What’s in the Member Content area?

• The Roadmap - a month-by-month format of everything we’ve shared, so you can go back and explore at your own pace, anytime. To your heart’s content.

• Video Vault - so you can go back and review all past Zoom cooking videos anytime

• Recipe Library - all past cooking class recipes, so you can cook from them whenever you want

• Ingredient Spotlight - deep-dive info on all the featured spices from previous months

What if I forget to follow through with everything?

No worries, I’ve got you! You’ll get plenty of advance notice of the dates for each Cooking Club Live session. Plus, you’ll get emails confirming everything in advance each month, and we’ll also post all the key dates and notices inside the Cooking Club content portal and our private Facebook community. And you can relax knowing you’ll get full access to all the replays and content for as long as you’re a member. So you can catch up at any time. All good!

Will I need any special equipment for the cooking?

Most recipes don’t call for any special equipment. But just in case, Lynley sends out an Equipment List in advance of each Cooking Club Live session so you’ll know what you’ll need and can feel prepared.

Can my family/friend/main squeeze/kids join me for the cooking classes?

Each month’s dial-in is for just one household, but you can invite anyone you want to join you in your kitchen for our cooking classes! We have several parent-child or grandparent-child members, and many couples who like to cook along together. And many parents tell us their kids like learning about all the different cuisines and flavors we explore in cooking class. Fun!

What if I want to invite friends who live far away to do Cooking Club virtually with me?

You’ll each need your own membership so you can both log in and be in the live Zoom cooking classes together. We’ve had lots of long-distance friends do Cooking Club together as a way to spend time cooking across the distance. So fun!

Can I buy this as a gift?

Yes! Here’s how it works: After you purchase, you’ll receive a beautiful PDF in your Welcome Email, within 24 hours of your order. The PDF has everything the recipient needs to access their membership right away, so you can give it to them whenever the time is right. They’ll love it!

Doors to Cooking Club will close at midnight on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
