I just simply love cooking and dining and trying new foods! Hoping to connect with people who share the same passion. My thought is that we would host meetups at our homes or an off-site venue and cook together, sharing recipes and techniques along the way. The host could select the menu and then divvy out the shopping list or costs so it would be very economical. I'm open to any suggestions you may have to develop the group and keep things interesting!

We meet every Tuesday at various upscale venues in order to socialize and meet others who share our interests in food, wine and entertaining, travel and more.... Ultimately, the goal is to meet others who enjoy entertaining and or hosting dinner parties at their homes. Our weekly meetings give each member an opportunity to meet others who not only enjoy being invited to parties (we all know lots of these folks,) but to also meet those rather rare individuals who enjoy hosting such events.

This is a group for people who love great food, but also are conscious of where it comes from, what’s in it and how it affects their health, well being, and the environment! What the heck is a Flexitarian? “Flexitarian” is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian/vegan diet, but occasionally eat meat or other animal products (eggs, honey, etc...). Whatever your reason for eating less meat, no meat, or no bi-products what-so-ever, all are welcome! Our main focus is on …

Note: This is a cooking and wine-drinking group. If you don't like to cook, or can't cook, or feel uncomfortable about cooking for others, this may not be the group for you. Let's eat! The purpose of the Italian Regional Feast, Wine, Cooking & Culture Group is to hold Italian dinner feasts, to learn how to prepare regional Italian dishes, drink Italian regional wines, and celebrate life. Most of all, we wish to introduce Italian feasting culture to new, younger generations. Each dinner features …

There is a surprising amount of things to do in and around Columbus, but once you get home from a long day (or week) of work, it's hard to conjure up the effort to get out and do them. This group aims to take off some of the headache in finding interesting and intriguing happenings in our fair city.  And, as with all MeetUp groups, you can do them in the company of some like-minded people and make some new acquaintances. Some Info You'll Need to Know We'll have events during the day and evenin …

This is a group for adults who, for whatever reason, do not have children. Whether you are single, married, a couple or none of the above, you are welcome to join. As a married woman who has made the choice to not have kids, I have found myself ostracized from friends cook-outs, dinners, etc for the simple crime of "not being a mother". I love children, but for several reasons, have decided to not breed. I am hoping this group will do a variety of activities, from dinner to book clubs and everyt …

Cincinnati has a growing craft beer culture that is recognizing not only national craft brews but local breweries as well. More people are starting to explore homebrewing as a hobby and a passion, creating very good beer. Tastings and food pairings are no longer limited to wine and beer lists are rivaling wine lists at many establishments. North of Cincy Sippers is an informal group of folks who want to meet to socialize over a well made drink. Don't like beer, you are still welcome to join! The …

Do you ever feel like you are in a Twilight Zone age group? We go out and encounter only people in their early 20s. We join clubs and encounter people in their late 40s. We rarely meet single people in our age group (30-42) that want to be out & about. Let's go have some fun! Our group is for singles in their 30s who have like interests or who want to explore new ones.  It is not a meat market or a dating pool. Suggestions are welcome. We plan on having dinners, movie events, game nights, coffee …

As Hip Mamas, we are funny, goofy, and our kids are crazy. (A wonderful crazy!) We can't finish conversations without interruption and we think herding cats might be easier than teaching a 2 year old to share— but we love what we do and need the support to get us through and keep our sense of humor.  We love coffee and good discussions. We love books, art, NPR, being outdoors, healthy food talk, and mom's night out. We are holistic - minded and we love a glass of wine. We are moms who are teache …

The idea came to me recently at the completion of an event in which I was bonding with women. It is difficult to describe how I felt “transformed” by the experience; I felt stronger, more compassionate, and courageous...a better version of myself. I would like to maintain and evolve the transformation, and the only way I know how, is to find a network of women who share my desire to continually challenge themselves in mind, body, and spirit. As the name implies…this group is for women only. It i …
