How Our Newest Resident Built a Community Around Cookbooks
Briefly

Food Baby Brooklyn, established by Isabelle Jardin, is a monthly supper club in Brooklyn where individuals gather to share meals inspired by selected cookbooks. The initiative emerged from Isabelle's desire for connection post-Covid. Each month, members prepare a dish from a chosen cookbook, creating a potluck experience that emphasizes community, sharing, and enjoyment of food. With her background as a content creator, Isabel aims to inspire others with hosting tips and cookbook recommendations as she joins Food52.
