Anyone can cook
You don't need to have grown up in a great kitchen, or any kitchen. If you can read and you can chop slowly, you can keep up.

About
We just like dinner.
The McGill Students' Culinary Society is a small group of students who decided, in 2016, that the cafeteria wasn't going to be enough. Twelve years later we are six hundred people, four officers, one very long table, and an open invitation to anyone hungry.
The best conversations happen with your mouth full. We just built a society around that.
A founding line, found later on a napkin, 2016
What we believe
Four small
house rules.
Not a manifesto, just the things that keep coming up when we sit down and try to write out what this club is actually for.
Food is a passport
The fastest way to understand a place you've never been to is to cook something from it, badly, with someone who's from there laughing at you a little.
The table is the point
Showing up matters more than what you brought. A perfect dish and an empty room is the wrong outcome.
Pass the recipe on
Everything we learn becomes a shared note. The archive grows because someone takes the time to write down what their grandmother actually meant by "a bit of oil".
Pull up
a chair.
Open to all McGill students. First event is on us, you don't have to bring a thing.
