About this event

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! ## How Do I Participate? 1.
