Whether you prefer savory or sweet, the meeting will be a perfect opportunity to showcase your best bite-sized creations. Bring your favorite appetizer, along with the recipe to share with the group. This is a great way to collect new ideas for your next gathering or simply to enjoy a fun afternoon of tasting and talking about food.

October: A Spooky Halloween Treat

October is the time for all things spooky, and the Cookbook Club is no exception. On October 15, participants will focus on Halloween-themed dishes. Whether you want to try your hand at making eerie edibles or indulge in something sweet and spooky, this meeting promises to be both fun and frightful. It’s a chance to get creative with your cooking and share some Halloween spirit with fellow food enthusiasts.

November: A Taste of the 1940s

On November 12, take a culinary trip back in time to the 1940s. The Cookbook Club will explore recipes that were popular during this era, offering a nostalgic nod to the flavors and cooking styles of the past. Whether you’re interested in comfort food from the wartime era or classic desserts, this session will be a delightful exploration of history through food.

December: Holiday Party Delights

The year wraps up with a festive celebration on December 10. The theme for this month is “Holiday Party,” a perfect chance to bring your favorite holiday dish to share.
