Let Director Westlund know your choice so she can list that it has been taken (so we can avoid doubles) on the website. Prepare your dish and bring it, you, and a guest with to the Cookbook Club meeting! When everyone has arrived we’ll eat, chat, discuss the cookbook, clean up and go! Cookbook Club usually only lasts for […]
