Welcome!
This monthly book group centers around food and socializing, open to anyone who brings a selection from that month’s title. No registration necessary.
How It Works
- Find the event on our calendar or website.
- Pick up a copy of the featured cookbook. Copies will be at the main desk in the library; no special request necessary.
- Select a recipe. Then email it to CC. This helps build the “What’s Cookin’?” list and makes for a greater variety of dishes at the meeting.
- Make said recipe the day of the meeting. If a recipe calls for rare mushrooms that you find only on amazon, for example, try something with more accessible ingredients. Finished is better than perfect.
- It all boils down to light-hearted fun. Not everyone knows each other, so conversations are often about much more than the cookbook. Significant others welcome.
- Get on the Cookbook Club mailing list, if you wish. Contact dwinn@minlib.net
Meeting
- 3rd Thursday of the month, 5:30 – 7:00
- Location is the Raytheon Room, Wayland Library, 5 Concord Road
- Prepare a dish that can serve 4-6
- Wrap and transport it with care
- Bring serving utensils
Food Safety
- The library assumes participants have a reasonable level of skill regarding knife handling, handwashing, and general kitchen food safety. The library assumes no responsibility for mishaps in the preparation of food.
- Potlucks such as this follow Board of Health guidelines for food safety (clean handling, transport while hot, discard anything dubious).
- Ingredient forms are voluntarily completed by participants and displayed next to each dish at all meetings to prevent accidental allergic reactions.
