Return of the Cooking Club: A Taste of World Cultures
Return of the Cooking Club: A Taste of World Cultures
The Cooking Club is back!! We will continue to highlight different cultures with some new twists. Members can check out a cookbook from the library, try a recipe at home, and bring a dish to share at our community potluck. Together, we’ll learn about the food, culture, and stories that bring people together from our own residents of different cultural backgrounds.
Whether you bring your whole family or come on your own, this is about connection, discovery, and good food. Come to one gathering or join us all year—it’s up to you!
