Bowls
by America’s Test Kitchen

September 19

Raid your pantry and fridge (easy starting point), make ingredients ahead (sauces + grains), vary colors and textures (pomegranate! Avocado!), try out a new cuisine (Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Greek), and choose quality over quantity (nutrient-rich rices, tender shrimp, chunky artichoke). …That’s how to make a fantastic bowl!

Piecemeal
by Kathryn Pauline

October 17

Kathryn Pauline’s Piecemeal offers main dishes, appetizers, sweets, and salads.  Her strong suit is the repertoire of sauces, dips, marinades and condiments. These additions, or “pieces” of each meal, promise to steal the show, every time! Invent a good roasted garlic for example, and soon you can profit on a Monday from the rest of Sunday’s meal.  She builds lovely culinary zingers and with each recipe courteously points toward 3 ideal ways to savor them.

Skinnytaste Simple
by Gina Homolka

November 14

Gina Homolka has published another winner with SKINNYTASTE Simple, her 2023 publication. Vegan, vegetarian, and high protein recipes were hits with reviewers.  Meals from this book promise to be simple to cook with 7 or fewer ingredients, and friendly to eaters with food sensitivities.

Mash-Up
DIY by participants themselves

December 12

MASHUP!  December’s meeting is planned as DIY …  a true potluck, with no group book.  In every kitchen there is a favorite recipe, pick yours and express your inner epicurean to the group!  Dishes do not have to be special occasion.  For this month participants will photocopy/share their DIY recipe at the meeting.  The group returns to structured reading on January 16, 2025.

No designated cookbook for this month.
