Welcome to our Cookbook Club
The Villagio Cookbook Club is a community and monthly Zoom catch-up where we talk about our favourite cookbooks, share recipes from within their pages, seasonal swaps and creative variations.
Each month, we pick up our chosen cookbook and start cooking from, sharing and chatting about it. Our private Facebook Group - Villagio Community Forum is a place to share photos and thoughts on what we try and love from each book and then, on a set monthly date, we’ll catch up on Zoom for some ‘face to face’ (albeit online!) cookbook chat.
I hope you can join me as we cook our way through some wonderful books. Click below to join the Villagio Community Forum private Facebook Group.
