Cookbook Club: Diasporican

Love to eat? Love to cook? Join us for a monthly cookbook feast! Each month, the group picks recipes from a single book. Each participant chooses a recipe from the book and prepares it for the group's meeting. At our meeting, we eat the dishes we've all prepared and talk about what inspired us to make them.

In September, we're cooking from Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook by Illyanna Maisonet. Containing over 90 recipes by the United States' first Puerto Rican food columnist, this book is deeply researched and filled with love for preserving food traditions. Flavors are traced back through generations and cultures, creating a delicious dive into Puerto Rican geography, history, conflict, and family.

The Cookbook Club meets in the Community Room at the South Burlington Public Library on the first Tuesday of the month. Copies of the book will be available for browsing recipes at South Burlington Public Library for a month leading up to the meeting. To attend, let us know what you plan to cook by signing up at the Circulation Desk or by emailing sbplprograms@SouthBurlingtonVT.gov.
