Remember to let us know what you're bringing, so there are no duplicates! Visit the Adult Reference Desk to view the cookbook and pick a recipe.

Do you enjoy flipping through cookbooks to decide what to make?

Do you search through recipes for inspiration?

Come join our monthly book club, featuring cookbooks! Just register, pick a recipe from the specified cookbook, make the dish on your own, and then gather for a feast. While you eat, you can discuss the cookbook, its recipes and the process of choosing what to make and how to make it. We will aim to evenly distribute the recipes among starters and sides, main courses, and desserts.

You do not need to be an experienced cook, just an enthusiastic one!

1. Register for the program.
2. Visit the Adult Reference Desk to view the cookbook and pick a recipe. Some copies are available to borrow.
3. Let us know which recipe you picked. You can call, email, or visit in person.

About the Book

This month’s cookbook is Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child.

Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire.
