Months after we launched our Food52 Cookbook Club as a Facebook Group in 2017, our club moderator Linsey Sowa realized our pastry, pie, cake, bread, and cookie-loving members wanted a place to go deep on baking. So we began a dedicated Food52 Baking Club that followed the same rules.

Together, we’ve cooked through nearly 100 cookbooks together. To make the titles easy to find for our new and current members—over 32,000 and counting!—we're listing them here for easy access and inspo.

Since the Food52 Cookbook Club launched as a Facebook Group in 2017, we've cooked through nearly 100 cookbooks together. To make the titles easy to find for our new and current members—nearly 40,000 and counting!—we're listing them here for easy access and inspo.

The way our members cook together across continents and time zones is simple: We post pics and reviews of the recipes we make from one of our chosen books. This could mean our "Book of the Month," our annual "Bonus Book," or any past cookbook we've covered for a Throwback Thursday or Throwback Month (August and February) post. Even if you can't get your hands on your own copy, we make sure you can still cook along with us, by excerpting recipes from our chosen cookbooks and only selecting titles that you can also download to a device.

The 70 Songs of Lazy Hazy Summer

When was your laziest, haziest summer? For us, it was our sixteenth. That’s the summer when you’re stacked with freedom (read: a driver’s license) but short on plans. When you’re still at home but no longer a child. (No, you’re an incoming upperclassma…

When was your laziest, haziest summer? For us, it was our sixteenth. That’s the summer when you’re stacked with freedom (read: a driver’s license) but short on plans. When you’re still at home but no longer a child. (No, you’re an incoming upperclassman.) When the only things that mattered were friends, not getting fired from your summer job, and music. So much music.

To commemorate this peak period of laze and haze, we had our team recount their favorite tracks from their 16th summers. In return, we received a playlist that covers five decades and nearly every genre of music. Is there a cohesive theme? Not in the slightest. Will it put a smile on your face? Absolutely.

Women’s History Month is underway, and while it’s always a welcome, 31-day-long reminder for us to reflect upon remarkable women—it just feels so stuffy and perfunctory, doesn't it?

So, to celebrate this month Food52-style, we’re rebranding it “Women Are Amazing Month.” Throughout March, we’ll be profiling incredible, talented women working in two of our favorite fields: food and design. To kick things off, we’d like to point you to the stories of these world-changing women.
