I’ve been talking about starting a cookbook club for a while now. I really want to build a community of food-loving friends in Dubai. Honestly, I’ve been overthinking it a lot, trying to find a way to do it “perfectly.” But I realized that we just have to START!
So here we are – Ayesha’s Cookbook Club is now OPEN, and it’s girls ONLY!
What is a cookbook club?
a cookbook club is basically like a mix between a book club and a potluck. we choose a cookbook each month, and each one of us makes one recipe from the book. the whole purpose of a cookbook club is to try out new recipes, new techniques, learn and discuss more about the cuisine and the author, and have a good time all-around.
How will this cookbook club work?
the cookbook club will be held at my home. it will be completely free, all you have to do is register. spots will be limited to 5-6 girls per month because I do not want to overcrowd it. each month, we will pick one cookbook, and once you register, you will be sent a recipe allocation sheet where you can choose the recipe that you will be making. to make it fair, recipe allocation will be done on a first come-first served basis.
Why is it free?
the main purpose for starting this cookbook club is to build a community of people in Dubai who love and care about food and cooking as much as I do. that’s the reason I plan to host them at my home so that we can keep them this way as long as possible.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
if you have specific dietary restrictions like being vegetarian, vegan, gluten or dairy-free, I would recommend waiting for upcoming cookbook clubs that will be focused on particular dietary restrictions. I want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy each dish during the cookbook club! For smaller restrictions and allergies, please fill them out in the form while registering and I will make sure to accommodate them the best I can.
Do I have to buy the cookbook?
no, you do not need to buy the cookbook. I will be sharing the recipes with you once you have registered. If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
if you have any other questions, feel free to email or message me on Instagram and i’ll be happy to help out!
If you’re looking for a fun, exciting way to meet food-loving friends in Dubai, this is the perfect place to be! We’ll get to taste delicious food, discuss the cookbook, the flavors, and the author, and just have an all-around good time 🫶🏼
