COOKBOOK CLUB

Foodies won't want to miss this monthly book club where we registered guests are provided with a monthly theme. Using that theme, a recipe is prepared using a cookbook from the library, or one of our food databases. If registered, you prepare a dish that's big enough to feed 16 people, and everyone will be able to sample each other's dish, while discussing your dish, the recipe, and where you found it.

Theme: Fall Flavors

• Date: Tuesday, October 11 at 6:30PM | Mockingbird Branch Library
• Your Task: We'll be enjoying the Fall and cooler weathers and your challenge this month is to create a dish that says fall and autumn to you. You may use foods that are seasonal, find a seasonal recipe for this time of year, or whatever it may be. Items we could suggest using are corn, apples, pumpkins, etc., but any dish that reminds you of the Fall and having those flavors of Fall is what we'll be looking for.

The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin

• Date: Thursday, October 20 at 6:00PM | Mockingbird Branch Library
• Summary: August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler's forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she'd wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.
