Monday, November 9 from 7:00 – 8:00

Share the name of your recipe, book and page helps, with Linda; you can email it to abadultprogram@ocln.org. We will compile a list of the recipes for reference. Be prepared to discuss informally what you liked or did not like about the recipe.

APL Tests Cookbooks is cooking recipes for the holidays! Our cookbooks are in for you to peruse and choose. Submit your recipe to Linda prior to the meeting so she can compile a list of the recipes. After tasting and socializing we discuss what we did and did not like about the recipe. We are always glad to welcome new cooks!
