Return of the Cooking Club: A Taste of World Cultures
Return of the Cooking Club: A Taste of World Cultures
The Cooking Club continues this year visiting the food of more countries. Each month, we’ll highlight a different country or region. Members can check out a cookbook, 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. Cookbooks for each country are made available by the library staff.
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!
Let’s share a meal, make new friends, and celebrate the flavors of our world—right here in Harvard. Meets 6:30 to 8 pm.
