Cooking Social Club - Monthly Membership

Hey everyone! If you've been following along with what we've been building at Cooking Skills & Social, you already know we don't sit still for long. We've been putting something together behind the scenes for a while now, and I'm excited to finally share it with you.

We officially launched the Cooking Social Club Membership, and I want to walk you through exactly what it is, what you get, and why I think it's genuinely one of the best ways to stay connected to everything happening here.


What Is the Cooking Social Club?

At its core, it's a $95/month membership that gives you a recurring presence at our events and exclusive access to content we've been working hard to build out. One flat price, one 30-day cycle, and a lineup of benefits that resets every month.

Here's what every member gets:

  • 2 event tickets — use them for any Cooking Skills & Social event that month

  • 1 guest pass — bring someone along, on the house

  • Full Recipe Catalog access — our complete, growing digital library of everything we cook here

  • Weekly Chef Alex Q&A video — Chef Alex records a dedicated video each week answering questions submitted by members

Simple, clean, and stacked with real value. Let me break each one down.


The Tickets & Guest Pass

Two tickets every 30 days, plus the ability to bring one friend. That's you and a plus-one covered for an event each month, and if you want to use both tickets solo across two separate events — that works too.

I do want to be upfront about one thing: there are no rollovers. Benefits reset at the end of your 30-day cycle, and anything unused is gone. We made that call intentionally — this membership is designed to keep you in the kitchen, not collecting passes. Consider it a built-in nudge to actually show up and have a good time.



The Recipe Catalog

This one I'm really proud of. Anyone who's taken a class with us knows the recipe sheets are great — but they're one dish, one night. The Recipe Catalog is everything, all in one place.

Every recipe we've ever taught is going in there. Full ingredient lists, step-by-step directions, and extra detail that doesn't fit on a standard sheet. It's a living library — we add to it regularly — and members get full access the moment they join. Whether you're recreating a dish from a class you took six months ago or exploring something new, it's all right there.


The Chef Alex Weekly Q&A Video

This is one of my favorite additions. Each week, Chef Alex records a dedicated Q&A video just for members. You submit your questions through the Member portal — technique questions, substitutions, kitchen tips, what to pair with what — and Chef Alex answers them on video.

It's real, practical knowledge delivered directly to you, and since it's recorded, you can watch it whenever it fits your schedule. Missed a week? No problem — it'll be there waiting.

This is something no one else is offering locally, and I think it's going to become a huge part of what makes this membership worth it.


The Cooking Social Blog

While I've got your attention — the Cooking Social Blog is live and free for everyone, no membership needed. Chef Alex posts a new recipe each week with extended tips and behind-the-scenes technique breakdowns. It's a great place to start if you want to get a feel for things before joining the club.


Come Join Us

We built the Cooking Social Club for the people who want more — more time in the kitchen, more connection to the community we're growing here, and more of what makes Cooking Skills & Social special.
