Book Bites is a monthly discussion & potluck of a featured cookbook and meets every first Thursday of the month at 1PM*. Instead of plotlines and characters, we discuss food and recipes!
Pick the recipe you’d like to make and include it when you register HERE. Bring in your dish to share with the group. We’ll try each dish and talk about what went well, the challenges, what we would do different, and what we loved or disliked!
The cookbook for December is “The Cookie Bible” by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Some copies available at the 2nd floor reference desk.
The following recipes have been claimed:
– Florentines (page 87)
– Date-Night Cookies (page 127)
– Turkish Ginger Lime Cookies (page 217)
– Bourbon Balls (page 260)
What do I need to bring on the day of the meeting? Your prepared recipe in a serving bowl or tray. We will supply paper plates, etc., but if you would like to be eco-friendly, feel free to bring your own reusable plates/utensils. You may also bring a non-alcoholic beverage if you would like, and water will be provided. If you would like to swap leftovers with others, feel free to bring a food storage container from home.
My recipe is supposed to be served warm or hot. Can I heat it up at the Library? We are unable to reheat or refrigerate dishes, so please bring your dish ready to serve.
Can I substitute ingredients or alter the recipe? Yes! Just be sure to list any substitutions you have made when you sign up so we can avoid any allergy or dietary mishaps.
