Do you like to read about cooking, experiment with recipes, share stories about food with others, and eat good food? If so, we invite you to join Read, Cook, Eat!, a cookbook discussion group. We meet at the library monthly on the 3rd Tuesday at 6 pm to share our creations.*

Newcomers are always welcome; you don’t need kitchen credentials to join! Please email to register – not required but it helps us figure out how to set up the tables and chairs. And we’ll keep you updated on the books selected, or visit the Book Discussion Group page for current and past book or topic selections.

Important Details

• Cookbooks & Recipes – We will hold a copy of the cookbook at the circulation desk for you to browse and pick out recipes you might wish to try. We’ll copy them at no charge (or you can take a photo with your phone). A second copy of the cookbook will be available to borrow for 3 days during the month leading up to the meeting.
• Quantity & Balance – This is a true potluck affair! There may be 3 desserts and 4 vegetable dishes or an appetizer and 5 different main dishes… Since recipe yields vary widely, there is no set amount of food to bring. The goal is to discover new combinations of ingredients and flavors.
• Equipment & Utensils – While the library has a microwave and stove for reheating, the kitchen is very small so preparation and cooking should be done before the meeting. For sustainability reasons, we encourage everyone to bring their own place settings and utensils, including serving spoons. We have a supply of disposable plates and utensils on hand.
• Ingredients & Allergens – The food will be cooked in home kitchens; food may contain or come into contact with common allergens. The library cannot guarantee the ingredients or preparation of any dish served at this program. We encourage everyone to bring the recipe they used noting any ingredient substitution, especially if it is a common allergen.

* Any changes to the schedule will be noted on the website calendar.
