Cook & Chat

Technically, yes. There is no charge to attend a virtual (Zoom-based) Cook & Chat, but donations via PayPal are always appreciated 🙂 Pay what you can.

No! The recipes are simple enough for people just learning to cook, but interesting enough for folks who know their way around a kitchen. The idea is to try new things with the support of other people and to gain confidence in your ability to prepare tasty, healthy meals.

Well, you do need an oven and a stovetop! While things like a blender, food processor, or meat thermometer might be handy for some recipes, they are not required. If you have a sharp knife, cutting board, bowls, spoons, measuring cups and spoons, baking dishes and pans, a skillet, and saucepans, you should be fine.

You do not have to cook, but we'd love it if you did! Some people like to attend once or twice before they cook with us. Others prefer to make the recipes at a later time because of time zone differences. Feel free to join even if you aren’t planning to cook.

We offer Cook & Chats about once a month, usually on the second Wednesday, at 5 pm ET / 4 pm CT / 3 pm MT / 2 pm PT. If we invite a guest host who is only available on other days, we adjust. We try to get everything done in an hour.
