OUR KEY PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIPS
Supper Clubs
The first Cooking Light supper club was born in 1999 when readers in Northern California got together on our online message boards to organize the first gathering. Today, our supper club family has grown to hundreds of clubs around the world who meet regularly to cook and share recipes from the magazine. Inspired by our readers’ grassroots clubs, we now host a series of Supper Clubs events where you can sample light dishes, meet other members, and watch our executive chef Billy Strynkowski demonstrate recipes and cooking techniques. For tips on starting your own supper club, visit CookingLight.com/supperclubs.
