A Brief Study Of: Recipes & Cookbooks

Spend an unhurried afternoon reading and writing at the club. This edition of A Brief Study Of: is dedicated to recipes and cookbooks.

Do you have family recipes you've been meaning to organise, document, or compile? Have you wanted to write about the peculiarities of home cooking? Are you looking for inspiration to cook more, discover new recipes, or connect with people who have fascinating food stories to share?

Participants are invited to bring their favourite cookbooks to share with the group or spend the afternoon exploring books brought by others. The gathering is designed as a slow and thoughtful space for browsing, discussing, note-taking, and collecting recipes that spark curiosity.

Things You Can Bring

• Cookbooks
• Books about food and food systems
• Books about food cultures and eating practices
• Food zines
• Anything else related to food

Bring notebooks, writing tools, laptops, or any materials you'd like to work with—and, of course, a healthy dose of curiosity.

About A Brief Study Of:

A Brief Study Of: is a limited series at the Eleven AM Club dedicated to exploring specific areas of interest through reading, researching, note-taking, and writing. These sessions aim to create space for the increasingly rare practice of staying with a subject long enough to learn something new about it.
