The new #foodiebookclub at #sbpl14:
Bite Club is a new book club for people who love to talk
about cooking and/or eating! Each month we will discuss a new food
theme and its corresponding cookbooks. Meetings will take place on the
third Tuesday of each month from 7 to 8:30 in our Cafe (make two sharp
rights after you enter the Library).
This is how it works: Starting the 15th of the month, come to the
Information Desk in the library to choose and take out ONE of the
cookbooks we have set aside for you. At home, peruse it, cook from it
and and then come to the meeting on the following third Tuesday of the
month to share your opinions and experiences. (Return your book, and
you can pick up the following month's selection at the Tuesday meeting.)
If you wish, bring in something you've made to the meeting; but
please, don't feel obligated to bring something. We just want you and
your opinions to be there as a part of our "foodie" community! We will
provide a "bite" of something that we have made and you can weigh in
with your instant review of what you're tasting. If you can, photograph
your creations and we may post them on our blog. If we have time, we
may demonstrate a cooking technique or tip.
This book club is for you if you love talking about (thinking about, obsessing about?) good food.
September's theme: Cooking Seasonally with the cookbooks of Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in California.
Waters' cookbooks give simple and delicious guidelines for
preparing fresh local ingredients, perfect for the bounty of late August
and early September.
October's theme: In Search of Flavor with the cookbooks of Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa
November's theme: Classic American Cooking with cookbooks by America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated Magazine
December's theme: Holiday Baking with various authors
Please join us as we get together with fellow foodies and talk about one of our favorite subjects!
