#ckbkclub is a group for cookbook lovers and enthusiastic home cooks to come together and share our cooking explorations. We'll cook from a rotating selection of cookbooks and themes and share our results on social media to help you make the most of your ckbk subscription. 

How does it work?  

  • Every month we'll select one book or theme from the ckbk website to cook from. We'll announce each month's book on our social media channels. Follow us for updates on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

  • Read the book online and favorite recipes you’d like to make. 

  • Cook whichever recipes from the book sound appealing to you, take photos of your dishes, and post to the group along with any notes, comments, and cooking tips.

  • You can post to our Facebook group. Or post to Instagram or Twitter with hashtag #ckbkclub and tag us @ckbk, we'll re-share your posts on our feed.

  • Invite your friends and anyone who loves to cook.

What is this month’s theme?

August 2020: Plant-based eating is on the rise and, whether you're a Meat Free Monday advocate, a veg-loving flexitarian or a committed vegan, a wealth of creative meat-free recipes awaits. Cook and share any of the 45,000+ vegetarian or vegan recipes available on ckbk. Explore recently added titles including I Can Cook Vegan by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Mediterranean Vegetarian Feasts by Aglaia Kremezi, Vegetarian by Alice Hart and many more!

Do I need a subscription to ckbk to participate?

What should I post?

  • Post photos of dishes you’ve made along with notes, tips, or adjustments you’ve made.

  • Ask questions to the group or share tips about books, authors, or recipes.
