Welcome Meeting

Last June, I came to my manager with an idea: a cookbook club at the library. Well, after 6 months of looking and planning and figuring out all of the nit picky details, tonight Cooks & Books: a cookbook club will meet for the first time at the library where I work.

Ever since becoming an adult, I have enjoyed cooking. It is therapeutic to me, it allows for creativity, and I am usually successful in what I create.  Cookbooks are a major interest of people who visit the library. There are cookbooks on practically everything and the library has quite the variety.

Cooks & Books will have a different theme each month. One month might be comfort food while the next spring salads. I will pull cookbooks from the library for each themed month (pull books for February in January, books for March in February and so on).  We can review the recipes and then the next month, everyone will come with a recipe to share and discuss according to the theme. Tonight I want to be an introduction meeting to get to know everyone and we are going to do a brainstorming activity for future cookbook club themes.

I had eleven people sign up so I hope that they all brave the weather to come. Lastly, I intend on taking pictures of all the delectable goodies everyone brings each month and posting the recipes too!
