then this Book Club is for you!

Come join us for a potluck celebration of comfort food, conversation, and cocktails. Each season, we will hold a session where participants select recipes from a few chosen cookbooks in the library's collection.

Then, make the dishes to bring to the library for a potluck dinner full of wonderful culinary delights, both savory and sweet.

This session, Ruth Freeman and Kerry McFarlin welcome all participants to join us in having some fun at this potluck dinner, full of wonderful culinary delights, both savory and sweet, and maybe learn a trick or two in the kitchen! As the weather gets cold and the winter season begins, we're drawn to cozy, comforting dishes to bring warmth and cheer to our seasonal feast.

The cookbooks selected for this session include:

• Modern comfort food : a Barefoot Contessa cookbook by Ina Garten
• Food Gifts : 150+ irresistible recipes for crafting personalized presents by Elle Simone Scott
• Well Plated Every Day : recipes for easier, healthier, more exciting daily meals by Erin Clarke
• Ottolenghi Comfort by Yotam Ottolenghi

What you need to do:

• Register here.
• Come to the library and select a recipe and let us know which one you will bring to the potluck. Participants may make free copies of their chosen recipe at the library.
• Bring your dish and a copy of your recipe (annotated, if applicable) on the evening of the event. We can reheat in a microwave, but please have food table-ready and bring the appropriate serving utensil.

We will supply liquid refreshments and paper supplies.
