Cookbook Club: Start Here
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 November, we're cooking from Start Here: Instructions for Becoming a Better Cook by Sohla El-Waylly.
El-Waylly is a culinary creator, writer, video producer, and community advocate who has appeared in the New York Times, Bon Appétit, Serious Eats, and even the History Channel and HBO Max. Her book (A James Beard and IACP award winner) takes an interesting approach in organization, categorizing recipes by skill rather than content. Choose a skill to brush up on, whether it's pastry or poaching, and learn how to be a better cook!
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.
