JANUARY EVENTS
COOKBOOK CLUB
Welcome to the Cookbook Club, a delightful gathering for food enthusiasts of all skill levels! Join Capricorn Books, Olive Lucy, and our host, the Jenkintown Library, as we explore the world of culinary creativity through a chosen cookbook. Participants can join us at Jenkintown Library for an evening of good food, great conversation, and a chance to connect with fellow food lovers. Pick up a copy of this month's book, Pass the Plate, by Carolina Gelen, at Capricorn Books to prepare for the event!
Participants pick a recipe from the chosen cookbook to prepare and share with the group. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just starting your culinary journey, this is a supportive space to experiment and discover new flavors.
What to Expect:
- Recipe Sharing: Bring a dish from the cookbook to share. Capricorn Books will share a Sign Up Genius to encourage a variety of dishes.
- Discussion: Engage in lively discussions about the cookbook, the dishes you’ve created, and your personal experiences in the kitchen.
Join us for an evening of good food, great conversation, and a chance to connect with fellow food lovers. Bring your appetite and curiosity as we cook through the pages, one delicious dish at a time!
