Cookbook Club
Cookbook Club meets once a month to share a potluck style meal.
All you have to do is make a recipe from the chosen cookbook!
See what people are bringing to this month's meeting!
On Wednesday, November 6 at 6:30 pm we will cook from:
The Complete Autumn & Winter Cookbook by America’s Test Kitchen
Copies of the books will available at the desk. Please let us know which recipe you’re making so we can avoid duplicates by emailing sduffy@cwmars.org. In addition to tasting everyone’s dishes, we’ll also discuss the cookbook overall, which recipes we’d make again, and which ones we’d skip or adjust. Please, no alcoholic beverages (even if there’s a recipe for one in the book). And, as per Massachusetts state law regarding potlucks, please be advised: Neither the food nor the facilities have been inspected by the state or by a local public health agency.
