Cook Book Club by Deb Macintyre

Cook Book Club introduces a monthly gathering at The Chestnut Tree Bookshop, where participants explore a selected cookbook through shared dishes and discussions. For the May edition featuring the 'Linger' cookbook, attendees prepare a recipe in advance, bring it to share in a relaxed buffet-style meal, and delve into the recipes, personal stories, and themes of culture, identity, family, and politics. The single-day event occurs on 6 May 2026 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM AEST, with tickets including the cookbook and limited spaces for an intimate experience. BYO drinks are welcome, and the evening structure covers introductions, tasting, guided discussion, and a preview of the next session. Designed for all cooking levels, it fosters community among food and book lovers.
