Where Cooking Meets Connection
& Every Recipe Becomes a Reason to Celebrate
Happy Cookbook Party
You’re not alone. And that’s exactly why the Happy Cookbook Party was created.
This isn’t just another cookbook club. It’s a warm, welcoming community of home cooks who believe food should be fun, hosting should be joyful (not stressful!), and that there’s nothing better than celebrating life one dish at a time.
Why You’ll Love It
Because this is about so much more than recipes.
It’s about…
Feeling confident in the kitchen.
Building real friendships around shared meals.
Learning how to host gatherings that are meaningful, not overwhelming.
Creating memories with the people you love.
The Happy Cookbook Party gives you everything you need to make cooking and entertaining less about perfection—and more about connection.
- The Easy Guide to Southern Tailgating by Stacey Pirtle of the Southern Discourse
- We are in for a real treat for the month of September because Stacey Pirtle of the Southern Discourse is joining us to lead our Cook Alongs. We are using her fabulous ebook, The Easy Guide to Southern Tailgating all month long to make our tailgates shine!
Happy Cookbook Party
- Cookbook Adventures – We explore one cookbook at a time, so you can really dive deep into the recipes without overwhelm.
- Live Cook-Alongs – Twice a month on Zoom, we gather in the kitchen (virtually!) to cook together, step-by-step. It’s the closest thing to having a friend right beside you while you stir, sauté, and sip.
- Hosting Tutorials – Want to actually enjoy having people over? Learn easy, practical entertaining tips so your parties feel polished and stress-free.
- Private Facebook Community – Share photos of what you cooked, swap ideas, cheer each other on, and get inspired by how other members host and serve with love. It’s encouragement on demand.
- Weekly Challenges & Monthly Giveaways – Little sparks of motivation and fun prizes to keep your cooking and hosting journey exciting.
Kristie LaLonde
Hi, I’m Kristie LaLonde, host of The Happy Hostess Podcast. I’m passionate about helping new (and not-so-new!) hostesses feel confident, relaxed, and excited about opening their homes.
The podcast has been such a joy to create, but I knew something was missing—I wanted a way for my listeners to actually put into practice what they were learning. That’s how the Happy Cookbook Party was born.
This community is where we get to cook together, encourage one another, and take the stress out of entertaining. My ultimate dream? That members will start hosting their own cookbook parties in person—gathering friends around the table, cooking the recipes we’ve explored, and making memories that last.
I can’t wait to do this with you. 💛
I just love our cookalongs and our challenges! I cannot believe all of the new recipes (and ingredients - canned potatoes, who would have thought?) that I have tried in the last year! I have really enjoyed getting to know all of you and Kristie, I can't tell you just how much I appreciate everything you do and put together for us, THANK YOU! I am so looking forward to our next cookalong! See you all soon! ❤
