I just simply love cooking and dining and trying new foods! Hoping to connect with people who share the same passion. My thought is that we would host meetups at our homes or an off-site venue and cook together, sharing recipes and techniques along the way. The host could select the menu and then divvy out the shopping list or costs so it would be very economical. I'm open to any suggestions you may have to develop the group and keep things interesting!
