Cookbook Club - The complete summer cookbook
Tuesday, June 16 12:30—1:30 PM
Eloranta Room

Join us for the eleventh meeting of the Westminster Cook Book Club! This meeting will be at our usual time: 12:30 PM on Tuesday June 16th!

At this book club we read a cook book and try out the recipes. Every month we'll pick a new cook book and every member is invited to make a recipe from the cook book and bring it to the next meeting so we can discuss the book, the recipes, and have a nice pot luck lunch based on what we read.

This month the club is reading The complete summer cookbook : beat the heat with 500 recipes that make the most of summer's bounty, by America's Test Kitchen. Copies will be available at the Adult Circulation Desk. We will discuss some options for future cook book choices at this meeting, so get your ideas for a July meeting ready!
