Q: What is cookbook club? A cookbook club is essentially a potluck style dinner party. A cookbook is selected and guests each cook a dish from the book. Someone hosts and everyone shows up with their dishes to share and discuss.

The Aperitivo Cookbook Club is a quarterly subscription service delivering you a dinner party in a box four times a year. We'll provide you with the cookbook, a special item for your table, and a complete hosting guide - all you need to do is invite the guests.

Q: What is the difference between the subscription options? Our quarterly subscription box is $99/quarter - billed each quarter on the day that you began your subscription. You can also purchase an annual subscription for $360. We also offer one-time purchases for $110 - perfect for gifting or getting your feet wet with hosting!

Q: Is shipping included? Yes! Your subscription boxes always ship free. One-time purchases ship for $10.

Q: When does my first box ship? Each box ships on the first day of the quarter. Subscribe anytime through June 10th to receive the Spring 2026 box. Subscriptions started after June 10th will begin with the Summer 2026 box, shipping on July 1st.

Q: What's included in my box? Each box includes the quarterly cookbook, a hosting guide, and an item for your table. Think dinner napkins, a delicious olive oil, a set of candles, a salt cellar.

Q: Can I buy the box as a gift? Yes, cookbook club is a perfect gift! You can choose our annual subscription or our one-time purchase and we'll take care of the rest!

Q: Can I attend a cookbook club in person? Yes! Check our listings for a gathering near your, or sign up to host your own!

Q: How do I cancel or pause my subscription? Subscriptions can be managed at any time in your customer account.

Q: Can I return or exchange my box? All cookbook club subscription boxes are final sale and are not eligible for returns or exchanges. We put a lot of attention into these boxes and hope you love them as much as we do. If you have an issue with your order, please email us at cookbookclub@theaperitivosociety.com

Q: What is the members-only Substack? Each subscription includes access to our members-only Substack community - a virtual table of sorts. You'll receive special discounts, hostings tips + tricks, recipes and more - plus access to our chat. Communicate with hosting enthusiasts around the world while gathered at our table!
