The Supper
Club
Dinner, made better.

Good food has always brought people together and The Supper Club is built on that idea.

A small, relaxed gathering at my home in Sausalito where we cook together in the morning and then sit down to share a tasting of what we have made. You go home with dinner sorted for that evening and the particular warmth of a couple of hours spent in good company.

Available for private groups and monthly public sessions.

What every session includes
Three things every
session delivers
01
The food
Every session is built around a seasonal recipe, using organic and locally sourced ingredients from Marin's local markets. Proper home cooking oftentimes with a South African and European flair. You go home with a generous meal for two; plenty for dinner that night with leftovers. Dietary requirements can be accommodated, just let us know.
02
The company
There's something about cooking alongside people that opens conversation up. A gathering of four in a home means real connection. Not a cooking class, not a networking event; just people hanging out while their hands are busy.
03
The time
A morning that's yours. We cook together, then we sit down around the table and share a tasting of what we've made. It's the kind of time that reminds you that there's more to you than the to-do list. (And sends you home with dinner already sorted.)

Something to celebrate?
Private sessions are a wonderful way to mark a birthday, a special occasion, or simply get a group of friends who want to do something a little different together. Sessions are tailored to your group and your occasion. A maximum of four people can be accommodated.

it's new
The Supper Club runs monthly public sessions. These are a great way to experience it before booking a private group, or simply enjoy a wonderful morning in new company. For the first few sessions, I'm offering a founder rate of $45 per person. Organic, locally sourced ingredients, a proper meal cooked from scratch, a shared tasting around the table, and your dinner sorted. I ask for one thing in return: your honest feedback.

"If you're looking for your people, I'd love to have you at my table."
I built The Supper Club because creating spaces for connection is something I've always been drawn to, and because food has always been how I do that best. I grew up in South Africa, spent a decade eating my way through the UK, and moved to Sausalito pregnant and knowing almost nobody. This felt like the most honest thing I could build.

About
Jessica

I built The Supper Club because creating spaces for connection is something I've always been drawn to, and because food has always been how I do that best.

I grew up in South Africa with a deep love of good food, inherited from my mother who has worked in the food industry her whole career. Some of my earliest and best memories are from cooking together in her kitchen and falling asleep to the sound of laughter and conversation drifting up from dinner parties downstairs. That's where I first understood what food can really do and how a meal made with care is one of the most generous things you can offer someone.

I spent the past decade living and eating my way through the UK. London farmers markets, Sunday roasts, Diana Henry cookbooks read cover to cover. That time further refined how I cook: often European in influence, seasonal at heart and (almost) always from scratch.

When my husband and I moved to Sausalito (pregnant, knowing almost nobody) I found myself figuring out who I was outside of my old career and about to become a mum for the first time. I knew I wasn't going back to an office. But I also knew I needed something that was mine. Something that uses the parts of me that motherhood doesn't always get to use. The Supper Club felt like the most honest thing I could build. Good food, made together, in a space where real connection can happen.

If you're looking for your people, I'd love to have you at my table.

Everything you need to know
Frequently asked
questions
Kind of, but not exactly. You will be guided through the cooking process, but there's no technique to master and no homework. At its core, The Supper Club is a gathering. The cooking is just what gives your hands something to do while the conversation happens. You'll pick things up along the way and you might go home knowing how to make a proper béchamel; but that's a bonus and not the whole point.
If you're wondering that, there's a good chance this is for you. The Supper Club is for anyone who loves good food and values real connection. While many of our guests are parents with young children (and expecting parents looking to stock their freezer), sessions are open to anyone. You don't need to be a confident cook, a local, or even a parent. You just need to like good food and good company.
Not at all. You just need to show up. Sessions are designed so that everyone has a role, regardless of experience. Some people chop, some stir, some layer. The cooking happens together and I'll guide you through every step. The Supper Club isn't about skill; it's about the process of making something delicious in good company.
You arrive at my home in Sausalito, enjoy a hot or cold beverage, and get your apron on. I walk everyone through what we're making and who's doing what and then we cook. Everyone has a job to do and there's plenty of time to talk while things simmer. Towards the end we gather around the table and share a tasting of what we've made together. Then you go home with your meal, labelled with reheating instructions. The whole thing takes around two and a half hours.
Seasonal home cooking with a European and South African flair. Think lasagnes, tagines, summer curries. The kind of food you might not always make for yourself but will definitely want to come back to. Recipes rotate with the seasons, drawing inspiration from some of my favourites: my Mum, Diana Henry, Ottolenghi and Nigel Slater.
If you have dietary requirements or allergies, just let me know when you get in touch and I'll make sure the recipe works for you. If you're vegetarian or vegan and joining a public session, I'd suggest booking one of the vegetarian dates; it's a nicer experience all round when everyone's making the same thing together.
You go home with a generous meal for two; plenty for dinner that night with leftovers. Everything goes home in a foil tray with reheating instructions written on top. Most dishes also freeze beautifully if you'd rather save it for later in the week.
I'm currently offering founder session rates: $45 per person for a public session and $200 for a private session which can accommodate up to 4 people. Sessions include everything: organic and locally sourced ingredients, a welcome drink, the session itself, and your meal to take home*. Nothing extra to pay. Nothing to bring. Just yourself.

*Main dish only. Sides are given as a serving suggestion but are not included.
Sessions are kept small, so every spot counts. I ask for 48 hours notice where possible. Cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance will receive a full refund or credit towards a future session. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable.
Absolutely! Private sessions are a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, a special occasion or simply a group of friends who want to do something a little different together. Private sessions can accommodate up to four people and are tailored to your group and your occasion. Email me at jessica@thesupperclubsausalito.com with your occasion, rough numbers, and preferred dates.
Sessions are designed as adult time. A couple of hours that genuinely belong to you. Public sessions are adults only. If you're booking a private session and have a young infant, get in touch and we can discuss options.
True to Sausalito form, my home involves a flight of stairs. If you've spent any time here you'll know that's essentially a local building code requirement. Unfortunately the session space is not wheelchair accessible. If you have any mobility considerations please get in touch before booking. On the plus side, there's plenty of free street parking right outside.
Still have a question?
