Cookbook Club

Saturday, April 13th, 12pm

The theme for this meeting is the incredibly versatile mushroom. Not only are there so many kinds, from porcinis to morels to chanterelles and more, but also these edible fungi are as at home in an Italian pasta as they are in a Chinese-inspired soup or a French cream sauce or a good old American Thanksgiving side dish with wild rice or mushroom gravy. Their meaty texture makes them a mainstay in vegan and vegetarian cooking, but they’re also good companions to chicken or red meat. The world is your oyster (see what I did there), we can't wait to see what you'll be inspired to make!

Come by the library to check out a cookbook to find inspiration, then prepare the recipe and bring the completed product along with a copy of the recipe to share with other members. New members always welcome.
Free and open to the public.  Sign up to let us know that you will join us.
