Food for Thought Cooking Club
In-Person Registration Required.
Bring your creativity and appetite to the Cooking Club. Each month we'll pick a different theme.
Your task is to create a dish fitting the theme to share at the meeting. Check out the library’s collection of cookbooks for inspiration.
Visit the Reference Desk on the second floor to register.
For the safety of all members, a copy of the recipe must be brought to each meeting, including a full ingredients list. Any modifications made to the ingredients must be disclosed on the recipe.
Our theme for February is "Snack Food Month"!
We can't wait to see the amazing dishes everyone creates.
