Cookbook Club is not a cooking demonstration, but a chance for fellow foodies to share recipes, favourite cookbooks, and tips and tricks they have learned during their cooking experiences, all related to the month’s theme. It is low key, no pressure, and listeners are welcome too! We simply chat, learn, and have fun. Food contributions are welcome but not necessary; we share what we have.
As always, a small selection of theme-related cookbooks will be on hold for Cookbook Club members at the Beeton D.A. Jones Branch one month before each meeting date. Feel free to stop by, ask for the cookbooks at the desk, and check out any you like. Staff in the Alliston and Tottenham branches are more than happy to help you find related cookbooks in those branches as well; again just ask at the desk! Or, feel free of course to use your own recipes, family recipes, other cookbooks you have access to or recipes off the Internet.
