What is the Society for Culinary Arts & Letters?

The Society for Culinary Arts & Letters (the “Society”) is a membership organization dedicated to increasing awareness and knowledge of the arts of cooking, eating and drinking, as well as the literature of food and drink. We carry out this purpose in many places and in many ways, but primarily through internet food media. We seek to appeal to a diverse group covering professional and amateur cooks, producers, writers and consumers. The full Society statement of purpose can be found here.
