Cookbook Club [and Spice Club!]
Meets the Third Tuesday of Every Month--Labor Day- Memorial Day
Our Cookbook Club is on break until September, but we will still be providing monthly cookbook recommendations. If you are interested in checking them out, see the blue book club cart in the Reading Room.
The Cookbook Club will meet monthly to discuss cookbooks in September! We recently started bringing in homemade food, but it is not required. Members vote to determine book choice. The club is "catered" towards adults, but cooks of all ages are welcome!
Recently read titles:
An Unapologetic Cookbook by Joshua Weissman
Ottolenghi Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi
The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters
At Home with Madhur Jaffrey by Madhur Jaffrey
