5 supper club themes our followers are eating up
To do: host every single one of these
Read to the end of this post to find out how you could win our summer giveaway! ✨
These days, we are likely all familiar with the rise of the dinner party. Casual, at-home gatherings with the chance to show off my pandemic-fueled cooking skills? Yes, please! But now, I’m taking my gourmet gatherings to the next level with a supper club.
Supper clubs are an affordable and easy way to build community and explore your culinary creativity. While some chefs have built more formal, invite-only groups, I prefer to avoid the waitlists and host something more intimate and just as delicious from home. Check out this list of delectable themes I’ll be consulting before my next supper club session (psst… you loved these on Notes!).
1: Yappy Hour
There is no better pairing than cocktails and conversation. Set the table for guests to drink wine and chat about anything and everything.
Decor ideas:
Vintage glassware for serving
Colorful ribbons as drink tags
DIY ice bucket in the tub or kitchen sink
Food ideas:
Beetroot hummus (it’s pink!)
2: Sips & Dips
Prepare your favorite dip and a big bag of chips, and have guests bring their own faves as well. You provide the sips.
Food ideas:
Activity ideas:
Make it a friendly competition and have everyone vote for their favorite
Challenge guests to make dessert dips
Assign each guest a color for their dip
3: Cookbook Club
You and your guests work together to chef up a delicious meal by having everyone prepare a dish from their favorite recipe book.
Planning ideas:
Create an event page to invite guests and use the event signups feature to track who’s bringing what dish
Put together a playlist for dancing in the kitchen
Build a spritz station for drinks
Decor ideas:
4: Spine & Dine
Crack open a book and a bottle for all to enjoy. Everyone can share thoughts on the book of the month’s ending (and this month’s wine pairing).
Decor ideas:
Lace doilies as coasters
Activity ideas:
Cook a dish from a book
Make your own bookmarks
Turn it into a blind book exchange
5: Market to Table
Craft your meal out of farm fresh ingredients. Shop what’s in season and you’ll always have something new to try!
Food ideas:
Via Carota’s infamous Insalata Verde! Tangy, fresh and unfussy
Activity ideas:
Make homemade fruit stamps and provide blank tote bags for guests to decorate
DIY bouquet station
I can’t wait to impress all my foodie friends with one of these themes. All this talk of dinner is getting me hungry. What do you say we start chefing?
Bon appetit!
