Hey everyone! We are a group of young adults who connected over our mutual love of and struggles with food. Many zoom calls and text messages later, we realized we weren't alone and that's why we have created The Cookbook Collective! We are so happy you are here and can't wait to create a fun, and safe, food community together.

The Cookbook Collective is an online community that hopes to communicate the realities of food relationships for young adults. We are here to help our generation build and navigate more balanced relationships with food in a culture which has come to deprioritize the importance of food in all parts of our lives. By actively deconstructing negative food cultures and discussing the intersectionality of food cultures through a biweekly podcast, we hope to build community around mental health, sustainability, food justice, and more. We will be sharing recipes which express our personal food stories and hope to connect with our community through cooking, conversation, and advocacy. There is a world of food beyond health and nutrition that we want to explore in balanced and engaging ways! However, it's important that navigating the world of food is more understandable and safe for young adults everywhere.
