About this episode

In this episode, Murissa interviews Josh about starting a cookbook club in Vancouver and building community connections.

In this episode I interview Josh of the Vancouver Cookbook Club which he started with his wife, Cynthia, only 1 year ago. Josh breaks down how they began a cookbook club in a city known to be difficult to break into as a newcomer. Since starting their monthly cookbook club they've rubbed shoulders with internationally acclaimed Canadian chefs as well as created community and connections.Watch the video podcast here: https://youtu.be/sSacazxX_HM?si=bb7jaf3aM5lWeoRX If you want to join in on a cookbook club check them out here as well as notable cookbooks mentioned:Website: https://joshandcynthia.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/josh.and.cynthia Small Batch Cookies: https://amzn.to/3Lb5kRL Flour Cookbook: https://amzn.to/44wNuPJ Sign up for our newsletter here: https://www.foodietown.substack.com This is a public episode.
