What is Cookbook Club Naarm?

We’re a community of food lovers who meet monthly to cook from a selected cookbook. Each ticket holder selects a recipe, makes it at home, and brings it along to share at our meet-up. It’s a chance to try new dishes, meet new people, and celebrate the cookbook together. This is our 12th event and we look forward to seeing you there!

About the Book: Sweet Seasons

Sweet Seasons is a celebration of baking through the year, with over 80 recipes that highlight seasonal fruits, alternative sugars, and sustainable ingredients. From festive classics like hot cross buns and mince pies to everyday favourites such as sponge cake, brownies, and biscuits, the book blends timeless treats with creative new bakes sure to treat you in any season.

About the Venue: Urbanstead

Urbanstead, founded by Pippa and Michael James, is a community space where food, learning and connection come together. From market stalls and hands-on baking classes to their celebrated cookbooks, they champion regenerative living and local producers. Inspired by the spirit of homesteading, Urbanstead offers a slower, more mindful approach to food—nurturing resilience, joy and community through every bake.

FAQs

Can I attend without a ticket?
Unfortunately, no, this is a ticketed event. There will be a guest list and check-in at the door. Walk-ins unfortunately cannot be accommodated due to venue capacity.

Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Many attendees come solo, and it’s a great way to meet new people. We promise, it's a welcoming and friendly crowd.

How do I avoid choosing the same dish as someone else?
Use the shared recipe Sign-Up sheet (link will be in your ticket confirmation email)

How many servings should I make?
Please make the serving of the recipe as written in the book — not a double or half batch.

What if I have allergies? / Can I change the recipe?
Please DM us if you have serious allergies. All attendees are required to follow recipes exactly as written to help ensure transparency. That said, since this is a public food-sharing event, we encourage you to trust your instincts and take any necessary precautions. If you have severe allergies, please bring any preventive measures you may need, just in case.

What does my ticket pay for?
Ticket prices are set so there’s a tangible purchase and commitment to attend. The profits help us with admin, printing costs or goes to the venues, otherwise it is donated to charity. Cookbook Club is a not-for-profit initiative—our aim has always been to work with brands in ways that give back to our members, whether through discounts or free products.
