SF Supper Club?

[AMac]

I'm new to San Francisco and wondering if there is a supper club I could join or if there were others interested in starting one. I'd welcome any and all responses, although I am single and would love to join or start a predominantly singles group. THANKS!

[marie_sf]

Hi! I also am interested in starting/joining a supper club in San Francisco. Can you please keep me posted if you end up forming or finding a group? Thanks!

[melin]

I'm also interested in joining a supper club here in san francisco. Maybe we could meet at a restaurant and post the date for anyone else who is interested. Let me know your thoughts on this.

[AMac]

Oops ... let's try this again! I think the idea of the restaurant as the initial meeting place is a good idea -- anyone else interested in attending??? Guys and girls welcome!!

[cooking lover]

I'd love to become part of a supper club. I actually live in the East Bay but I work in San Francisco and I don't mind travelling around the bay area for great, healthy food! Please let me know more details about the first meeting.

[emwilska]

I'd love to be involved in a SF-area supper club as well. Please keep me posted, and let me know how I can help get things up and running.

-Emily

[SusiS]

Cout me in! I live and work in San Francisco and would love to be part of a Supper Club. Where shall we meet?

[AMac]

Looks like we've got the beginnings of a good group. Would anyone like to suggest a restaurant for the first meeting -- someplace centrally located in the city, that might be quiet enough for us to talk? Any suggestions?? I would propose we consider the week of January 15th (hopefully gives everyone enough time to plan) and would love suggestions on a night of the week that might work for everyone for the first meeting. THANKS!

[marie_sf]

Wow, what a great response! Re: places to meet - Delancey Street (on the Embarcadero near Townsend) is usually pretty quiet, easy to get reservations, reasonably priced and with the added bonus of having a "light" section on their menu. Plus parking there is not quite the headache it is elsewhere, and the food is generally good. (It's a California/American-type menu). However, I'm always up for trying something new if anyone else has any suggestions! Hopefully we could do it on a night *other* than Monday or Wednesday, since I have class those nights :-6

-Marie

[emwilska]

I think Delancy Street would be a great place for a first meeting, especially as it's pretty easy to get to from Muni and Bart. Would Tuesday the 16th work?

[SusiS]

Tuesday the 16th works for me!

[AMac]

TERRIFIC! Delancy Street it is!!! Tuesday, January 16th is the date, and we'll set a reservation at 6:30pm (to allow folks enough time to commute in or out as the case may be!). I'd like to get an accurate count of how many we'll be, so please respond to this post and let me know if you'll be there.

[andwagner]

I would love to join this new group, but saddly I will be out of town on business the week of the 16th to the 21st. Would you please keep me posted on the progress of this supper club and let me know of future meetings or ideas.
Thanks!

[emwilska]

The 16th at 6.30 works for me. I look forward to meeting everyone then!

-Emily

[marie_sf]

Tuesday the 16th at 6:30 sounds great to me. I'll be bringing a friend who's also interested in joining.

- Marie

[SusiS]

6:30 sounds great - see everyone then!

[AMac]

Great -- right now it looks like we are 6. The reservation will be under MCAULEY. See you all then. If anyone else would like to join, or anyone else would like to bring another friend along, let me know and we'll up the count. For anyone that can't make it -- not to worry -- we'll update the group after the meeting! Look forward to meeting you all!!

[sjherrera]

That sound wonderful. Please include me as well.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on the 16th!

Hi,

I'd like to join as well! I live in the East Bay, but please count me in. I will bring my husband along, and look forward to meeting everyone! Can you please add two to the reservations? Thanks.

[cooking lover]

Count me in! I can't wait to meet everyone.

Hello-

I just saw your posts and hope it isn't too late to join you for the initial dinner meeting.

-Beth

[jdt]

I'm very interested in being part of a supper club. I hope it's not too late to add one more person to the reservations.

[melissa@aipartners.com]

I am interested too! But won't be able to make it to tomorrow's dinner http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif
Please let me know what the future plans are and if you could use another wanna-be cook! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif Like the singles idea too.

We're now 8 for dinner -- (it's not too late for you to join!) -- we'll see you all at 6:30pm at Delancey Street!

[cooking lover]

Sorry I couldn't make it last night. I hope everything turned out okay. I'd still love to be involved so if someone could post what the next step's going to be that'd be great! I look forward to hearing details.

If this group gets too large, we can always break it down into smaller groups, base it on menu choices etc. I have about five people who are interested in doing this.

Oops the web site instructions confused me.

The SF/Bay Area Cooking Light group is getting together for our July meeting -- BBQ At The Park -- this coming Sunday, July 15th. (Can you believe this is sixth month?). The theme this month is anything you can grill! Bring your best receipes -- and, guys, this is your chance to SHINE! This is also a chance to bring your non-cooking friends to enjoy the great food!!

If you are interested in joining our always growing group, please respond back with your email address and we'll add you to our mailing list.

[AMac]

Hi SF! It sounds like you all are doing great! We are just starting a new club in NYC and I've been scanning the boards trying to get theme ideas, etc. Are you posting your menus anywhere? Do people just bring whatever or is there organizing going on offline? How is the large random group working? Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated!

[AMac]

Aaron -- Please leave your email address to we can add you to our list! Thanks for your interest!!!

[PBradley]

I noticed there are a lot of new people to this club (like me). Was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to tell us a little bit about yourself? Kind of an ice breaker. Just a suggestion. ;)

[AMac]

Glad to see the new members! We're a very diverse group of people -- mostly in our 20's & 30's. Some single, some married (and some of those married come with their spouses, others don't). We come from all walks of life -- teachers, lawyers, marketing professionals, dot commers, etc. The only thing we share in common is enjoying good conversation over good food! Most people joined this group because they are avid readers of Cooking Light. When Cooking Light started the concept of Supper Clubs, many of us thought it would be fun -- a good place to test out new receipes and meet some new people. It's been almost a year since we started. We meet once a month on a Sunday evening. We rotate to different people's houses, and the host is responsible for the main dish. He/she is joined by a couple of other people to help prepare the main dish. Everyone else brings appetizers, desserts, drinks, etc. We choose a different theme for each month. So far, we've had Moroccan, Thai, Mediterranean, TexMex, Anything You Can Grill, Indian, Sunday Brunch and now Spanish. While we oftentimes get receipes from Cooking Light, we're not "Light" fanatics. It's more about good food with good people. Receipes are sometimes traded (we're trying to do this more!). So ... hope this little introduction helps! We're always looking for more people because we want people to feel flexible enough to come one month and miss another month. So ... JOIN US! Leave us your email address and we'll add you to our bulletin board!

[PBrad]

Yahoo e-mail is down and I can't get the e-vite link...I won't be able to make tonight's (October 14th's) dinner. I missed my flight this morning and won't make it into SF until late. The e-vite said I would attend. (pbradleyco@yahoo.com)

Hope you all have a great dinner!

[jhansen324]

Sounds like a great idea to me! Any more room?

jhansen324@hotmail.com

[AMac]

No problem! I have added you to our Evite list. Look for this month's invitation entitled "Autumn's Bounty" -- celebrating all the great harvest foods! Hope you can join us!

[kristinanoel]

I'm trying to either join or start a San Francisco club. Do you have room for another?

kristinanoel@hotmail.com

[AMac]

Thanks to Amy & Kramer for hosting November's Supper Club. The Autumn Bounty was outstanding -- the chance to cook with the great fresh vegatables grown here was terrific (and timely with the current issue of Cooking Light.)

December marks our two year anniversary (can you believe it?!) and Eric & Rosanne will be hosting on December 8th. The theme will be Vietnamese (with Thai / Pan-Asian influences as well!). In addition, we'll have our much talked about Cooking White Elephant (everyone should bring an item from their kitchen that they don't use wrapped up!) Consider things like Cookbooks (some of us have too many to use), odd utensils you wonder why you bought, or extra things (like my collection of too many pie plates!) that you can spare.

We welcome anyone interested in joining our group -- simply respond to this post with your email and we'll add you to our Evite for the event which tracks accepts & declines as well as dishes people are preparing. (Our host provides the main dish, everyone else brings either a appetizer, side dish, dessert or beverage).

See you all in December!!

[ebeard17]

I didn't get the last one - can you add me again? Thank you!
ebeard@offithall.com

Emily

[AMac]

No problem, Emily -- we'll add you to the next Evite -- watch your inbox for our December meeting invitation. THANKS for your interest -- we look forward to meeting you!!

[AMac]

THANK YOU to Rosanne and Eric for hosting our terrific Thai night. As always, the food was outstanding. And I hope everyone is enjoying their new-found kitchen item thanks to the White Elephant.

January's Cooking Light Supper Club will feature Indian Food as we ring in the new year and YEAR 3 of the SF Cooking Light Supper Club (can you believe it!). Indian Night will be Sunday, January 12th and the main dishes will be a Chicken Curry and a Chickpea Curry. Group members will be bringing appetizers, side dishes and desserts. We'll also be making some Nan.

If you are interested in joining our group (we're always looking for new members!) please post your email address and we will add you to our Evite list. See you in January. HAPPY NEW YEARS!

[AMac]

Thanks to Tonya for hosting our February Supper Club -- Cajun and Creole food (as a great advance for Mardi Gras!)

This month's Supper Club will be a Tapas Party (spanish food!) Janet will host and provide one or two tapas and the sangria -- everyone else is asked to bring one or two tapas (if you need receipes, check Cooking Light or email back and we'll send you a link of receipes we've been collecting!)

Event details:
Tapas Party
Sunday, March 23rd
5pm -- ????

If you'd like to join our cooking group (and we're always open and looking for new members) please post a reply here with your email and we'll send you our monthly Evite. Our group is a collection of young professionals (20's and 30's), single and married, from all walks of life. We all tend to live in the city or very close by! We meet once a month on a Sunday evening, with themes for each month selected at the meeting before. We'd love you have you join us!

[bakersdozen]

I'd love to join for tapas on suday! After a week in Barcelona last fall I'm always ready to relive it. Please send me the info. melissa@cellspace.org.
thanks!

[AMac]

Thanks to Janet and Jim for hosting March's Spanish Tapas night -- the tapas were EXCELLENT and we had such a good variety of food.

Next month's meeting (April) will be a little change for us -- we'll be having brunch instead of dinner on Sunday, April 27th. Betsy will be hosting and brunch will start at 12 noon. Check out the Evite for things to make/bring.

If you'd like to join our group (and we're always looking for new members) please post a reply here with your email address and we will add you to the current Evite. (By RSVPing either yes or no, you stay active on our Evite list and will hear about upcoming events.)

See you in April!

Just a quick update .. the magazine sponsored Cooking Light Supper Club dinner that was supposed to be held at the Presidio Officers Club on April 16th has been cancelled -- the Magazine has decided to combine it with the Sept. 17th event. (For those of you who registered, they are offering either to refund your money or roll over your registration to the Sept. event.)

SOOO ... we'll see you all at Sunday Brunch on the 27th of April, or at Sushi in May. (More details to follow).

Hi all! Thanks to everyone who pitched in at Eric's -- great job on the Mexican Night! And to all who made it to the Cooking Light event at the Ferry Building -- thanks -- and it was great to see everyone!

The host will also prepare a main dish; everyone else brings appetizers, side dishes, desserts or adult beverages. (We manage the list of items people are planning on bringing on Evite). Our group is men and women in their 20's and 30's ( a few in their 40's, but you'd never know it!) with very diverse backgrounds. Singles and couples. In the end, we simply enjoy good food, great wines, and terrific conversation. Join us sometime!

Hi there,

I would like to be added to the eVite for the SF Supper Club. I love cooking and had an unofficial supper club in Boston for a couple years. I love Cooking Light and I just moved to San Francisco with my husband and want to get involved with a supper club again.

Thanks, Anne

[AMac]

Anne -- Would love to have you and your husband join us (and as Bostonian, glad to welcome another -- you are of course Red Sox's fans, right??!!) .... email me your email addresses and I'll send you our Evite!

THANKS!

[armcclure1]

Hi AMac, I couldn't find your email address, so... if you could, please just add my email armcclure1@yahoo.com to the evite list. I am originally a Pittsburgher, but I did like the Red Sox attitude and fans, so... I guess I could say that I'm a fan.

Thanks!

The SF Cooking Light Supper Club's Annual White Elephant Holiday Party is Sunday December 5th.

Our cooking theme for the party will be Vegetarian (no meat or fish please). We'll also do our annual White Elephant -- where we all bring a cooking-related gift to be placed under the tree and the numbers game of White Elephant is played. Your cooking item can be something new or something from your kitchen that you don't use or think someone in the group could really use. Over the years we've had some terrific gifts -- gag gifts of odd kitchen gizmos and trades of well loved pie plates, just to name a few.

We're always looking for new members to join our group. If you're interested, send me an email to my Cooking Light address here and we'll add you to our Evite list. Our group meets once a month on a Sunday evening; homes rotate as does the theme!

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 5th!

[magzyj]

Can you please add me to your group? My email is magzyj@hotmail.com.

Thanks!

[simka]

can I be added to your evite list?
How often does this group meet?

[britton]

I have become very interested in cooking over the last year and would like to get more information on this club and may be interested in joining. How often do you meet? How many people are in the club? Any and all info you have would be great.

[AMac]

Hi Friends!

Hope the start to your summer has been good thus far!

Last weekend, Mae and Rick opened their vacation home up to the SF Cooking Light group and we enjoyed a terrific weekend at Discovery Bay! The weather was a bit cooler than past years, but we nonetheless headed out on the boat to explore the canals and to watch Roger and then Marie take their turns at tubing. (Not to worry Marie, I have not emailed ANY of the 107 pictures we took! ... So I got a little crazy! ;-D!) Both the brunch and our Brazilian Dinner were outstanding. And we added another excellent story to the group's folklore -- Mae and toasting coconut! I won't say anymore -- you'll have to ask Mae the next time you see her. But it ranks up there with Marie's pearl tea, Jen's "fascist" (her word!) tiramisu lesson, and the "flaming cheese" incident. So as you might guess, good food and lots of laughs were the theme of our June meeting.

We're now planning the next few month's events -- we have tentative hosts for August (Jen) and September (Betsy) but are looking for a July host (Marie is starting a new job -- CONGRATULATIONS -- and is not sure what her weekend commitment will be and may need to postpone hosting) .... so .... any volunteers to host for July??

So .... check your calendars to see if you can host in July (and get ready for another great event coming up soon!

THANKS!

[AMac]

Our Cooking Light Supper Club is looking for a few more members ... interested?

We meet once a month on a Sunday evening for a group dinner. Our host chooses the theme and prepares the main dish; the attendees bring an appetizier, side dish, dessert and/or beverage to compliment the theme. (We coordinate dishes online via Evite.) In conjunction with certain month's events we'll do a cooking demonstration or group dish cooking.

Our group is comprised of cooking enthusiasts, 20 - 40yrs old, men and women (although the women ususally outnumber the men), single and married. We're lawyers, IT professionals, marketers, consultants, teachers, etc... pretty diverse crowd! What we share in common is the interest in cooking light -- but not to worry, we don't take ourselves too seriously! This is not a group that is intimidating -- we have new cooks as well as long-time cooks.

We don't charge any fees and our only requirement for the group is that you be willing to host a dinner once a year.

If you're interested, email me at sfcookinglight@yahoo.com and we'll add you to our distribution list of monthly invitations.

THANKS!

[DianeInSanFran]

I guess I wasn't the only one home watching the Food Network tonight-- I'm in North Beach- there was one other posting so far, I'm wondering if maybe we can get monthly thing going? Maybe the first Sunday of the month or something easy to remember like that? Any takers?

[rrosen]

i also was watching food television and finally found a way of joining a cooking group again. will be available to join at the beginning of november 2005. i live in the inner richmond district of san francisco. my only problem is that my days off are monday, tuesday and friday. hope to get a positive response soon.

Happy Holidays to Everyone!

Just a quick calendar update (another reason to get your 2006 calendar!)... our next event will be Sunday, January 22nd and we'll be in San Francisco for this event! The theme will be fondue! (Yes, we're going to figure out a way to do more than just cheese fondue, we'll do it light, and we'll all finally use those fondue pots we all have!!).

Our February event will be on Saturday, February 24th and will be an outdoor hike with a picnic following -- and we're headed out to Ano Nuevo State Reserve to see the Elephant Seals (a Bay Area MUST if you have not done this yet!).

So mark your calendars and save these dates. If you are interested in joining our group, please email sfcookinglight@yahoo.com and we'll add you to our monthly event Evites!

THANKS! Happy Holidays and Best Wishes For a Terrific 2006!
