Join Today!

At The Local Palate, we love settling in with a good cookbook—from the look and feel of the cover to the mouth-watering photography to exploring new recipes and stories, we celebrate them for what they are: usable works of art.

We’ve been covering the South’s best cookbooks for as long as we’ve been making magazines, which means we’ve been testing and sharing cookbook recipes and getting to know the authors and chefs who make them for more than 13 years.

In short, we’re cookbook lovers and fans who seek to honor, celebrate, and share the work that goes on behind the cover.

Now, we’re inviting you to join The Local Palate Cookbook Club, giving you exclusive access to a vast collection of cookbook content. Membership into the Club means getting behind the scenes with cookbook authors, access to exclusive recipes, a first look at forthcoming titles, seasonal cookbook roundups, and access to an engaged community of avid cookbook lovers and fans. From our live virtual events with authors and our ongoing Bookshelf series to cookbook reviews and discounts on books, members will find countless ways to fill their own personal libraries and stay in-the-know about cookbook news.
