Events › Cookbook Book Club

Do you love books and food? Are you looking for a fun, low-cost way to increase your cooking skills, try new recipes and make some new foodie friends? Then perhaps our new "Cookbook Book Club" is for you!
We will gather to discuss the many editions of over 90 years of The Joy of Cooking. Bring a dish you have made from Joy and your copy of Joy and we will eat and talk about this iconic cookbook.

Check out a copy of Joy of Cooking today, make a few recipes from one of the editions, share your experience with the cookbook and thoughts about the recipes. Chef JoEllen Hothem will share some of the history of Joy, it's Cincinnati connections and can help answer any cooking question you may have!

Chef JoEllen Hothem is a self-educated home chef who began exploring food ways and cooking as a child through the "Mud Pies and Other Recipes" by Marjorie Winslow. She loves to learn about world cuisines through reading and travel. A firm believer in the tremendous health benefits of intentional, healthful eating, in community, she combines her love of food with her public speaking and instructional training to help people learn the principles of taste, flavor and foundational cooking skills, so they can confidently prepare tasty and healthful meals for themselves, family and friends.
