I am betting you need a health department certificate in most states to do this.

I think you are OK if you have people be "members" of your food club. It's only when you're cooking for walk-ins.

Even so, I am something of a foodie and a home cook, and I wouldn't feel comfortable cooking for paying strangers, or paying to dine with them. To me, something that helped organize and plan potlucks would be more appealing, (like "Meetup meets Cooks Illustrated" perhaps). But maybe that's just me.

Depends on how you structure things. Depending on the wording, AirBnB would need a hotel/B&B license for each host, too.
