Chef Jackie’s Cookbook Club

Try out some new delicious and nutritious recipes that may just end up in an actual cookbook! Chef Jackie will send out two recipes each month that will coincide with free virtual gatherings via Zoom. During these Zoom sessions, you will be able to discuss all aspects of each new recipe with Chef Jackie, as well as report your success with previous recipes. Participants will need to obtain their own ingredients so that they can prepare the recipe. The Zoom meetings will start promptly at 10 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The first Zoom meeting will be held at 10.m. on Wednesday, January 13. Meetings will last approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on the recipes and the number of participants. Email Chef Jackie at chefjackiedavison@gmail.com to receive a Zoom invitation.
