What's Cooking @ MCPL: Cookbook Club

Come and test out the library's cookbook club!
Meets one Monday each month from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. (typically the second Monday of the month). Each book club meeting will have a specific theme, for example: type of dish (appetizer, soup, main dish, casserole, etc.), geographic/ethnic cuisine (Italian, Greek, Thai, etc.), or ingredient (lemons, herbs, chicken, etc.).
December's theme is: COOKIE EXCHANGE
Meeting: Monday, December 9th, at 5:00 p.m.

Here's how it works:
1 - Check out a library cookbook (print book or e-book) or magazine (print or electronic) and select a recipe you want to make (or try out our online recipe database: A to Z Food Database!)
2 - Give us a copy of your selected recipe (either drop off at the main desk or send it via email to Katie at [email protected]) so we avoid having duplicates and also so we can print out enough copies of each recipe to share with the group; please be sure to mention any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
3 - Prepare one regular-sized recipe at home (serving size: 8-10)
4 - Bring your dish, ready to be served, to share with the group
(the library will provide tableware but please bring serving utensils specific to your dish and bring a drink if desired). We will eat together, potluck-style.
5 - Enjoy sampling dishes brought by the group and discuss the cookbooks, techniques, authors, and more!
**Note, our group's annual Cookie Exchange in December is slightly different in that group members will bring a batch of cookies or bars to share (4+ dozen) as well as a take-home container for filling with exchanged treats to take home with them. There will be soups and breads to eat while we discuss the cookies that we brought**

Send us a message with any questions!
