What we’re about
Cook a great recipe from our monthly cookbook selection and bring your entrée to the book club. We will discuss the book, your cooking issues and thoughts in preparing the dish and then we will taste the food prepared. Join us as we explore new recipes and evaluate the book. Sign up on the google doc spreadsheet which is located in each event listing.
List what entrée you’ll be bringing to the event. Please bring the entree that you prepare, as this is required in order to evaluate the cookbook. We will be meeting at the North University Community Library at 2 pm on a Sunday of the month. (Library has priority booking of the room.) Bring your your entree a serving utencil, and your appetite.
