Cook the Book
Thursday • September 5 • 6:00pm
Winterset Public Library
I understand that conventional wisdom is that one should test out a new recipe before trying it for company, but I’ve never quite subscribed to that! Whatever your thoughts, though, here is a chance to try both cooking and tasting some new recipes. Pick a dish from the cookbook, “Cooking for Family: From My Nana to Your Table” by Iowan Veronica Girard, then bring the dish to share. Registration is required for this event so CLICK HERE or give the library a call at 462-1731.
