A Food and Cookbook Club

Monday, January 27 @ 7:00

cooking club

There is always room for another cook in the library. This month we are enjoying soup, sandwich, or salad. The cookbooks are here for recipe choosing. How this works: make a recipe. Let Linda know what you are making so she can make a list. Bring your dish in for sampling. Socialize and enjoy the food. Critique your recipe. This is a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. Questions? Ask Linda.
