The Pretty Dish Book Club is here! I’m thrilled to kick off a monthly virtual potluck where we’ll cook, share, and celebrate recipes from The Pretty Dish.
The goal is simple: take everyday recipes from the book, make them your own, and share how you serve them. Each month I’ll highlight three recipes to focus on. I’ll be cooking them on Instagram Stories and in our Facebook group, and I hope you’ll join in by sharing photos, adaptations, and serving suggestions.
How the Pretty Dish Book Club works
Every month I’ll announce three recipes from The Pretty Dish. Over the following weeks, share your results in whatever form you like. Ideas to post:
- Photos of your finished dish — tag them with #prettydishbookclub and #theprettydish
- What you served alongside the recipe
- Any twists or substitutions you tried
- Notes on presentation, pairing, or how the dish worked for your gathering
I’ll also post menu ideas that include the featured recipes, party themes, music and movie pairings, and ideas for hosting brunches, girls’ nights, or book club dinners centered around The Pretty Dish recipes.
We have a private Facebook group for ongoing conversation, photos, and recipe tips. If you own the book and want to participate, request access to the group and introduce yourself.
Since we’re transitioning from late March into a holiday week, we’re rolling these final days into April so everyone can join easily.
The recipes for April
Coconut Carrot Soup (accidentally vegan)
Korean Beef Bowls
Tiramisu Bread Pudding
Make one recipe or make all three. If these don’t appeal to you, feel free to cook any recipe from the book and share what you love — participation is what matters most.
We’ll also run monthly giveaways and occasional events. Photos posted with the community hashtag #prettydishbookclub will be entered to win kitchen tools, books, and other favorites. I’ll randomly select winners at the end of each month.
I’m so excited to build this community and cook through the book together.
