![]() ![]() One thing I’ve always wanted to do was to invest in bakeware that patrons can check out. You can make your cookbook into a fundraiser for your library’s friends group or for the club itself. A community recipe cookbook is always sought after by locals and tourists. When you have a constant attendance of regulars, think about starting your own recipe cookbook. Keep a list of cookbooks that you can get readily so you don’t have to hunt for them every month. Many times, good cookbooks aren’t always the popular cookbooks and other libraries don’t stock them as much as they do the ones in high demand. Be sure pick a cookbook that you can get copies for. Graduate to a Recipe Cookbook Club, where you can pick out a popular cookbook, bring copies in from other libraries for your members to check out, and create some of the recipes featured. But the best way to showcase a food is to bring samples of it for members to taste. As a courtesy, I also like to print out information on the ingredient featured, like how it is grown, any unusual features about it, where you can get it if it is a more difficult to find ingredient, and the nutritional value. And of course, my favorite, Lemon Bars from Ree Drummond at The Food Network. ![]() ![]() Braised Chicken with Artichokes, Olives, and Lemon is from Martha Stewart. Just googling Lemon Recipes, I found several places to go for reliable recipes. Search for recipes that contain lemon, and it doesn’t just have to be desserts. Start your Recipe Club with a theme gather recipes that pertain to that theme and make copies to be handed out at your first meeting. Not only do we talk about food, we eat food, too! We meet right before lunch, but that’s okay. Once a month, twice a month, or weekly, you can have a group that loves to talk about food! What could be better? Out of all my regularly scheduled programs, this one is my favorite. ![]()
