The Cookbook Club meets once a month to share recipes from a new cookbook off our library shelves. November's pick is The book on pie : everything you need to know to bake perfect pies by Erin Jeanne McDowell . 

About the author: Erin Jeanne McDowell's work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Food Network, Bon Appetit, Food52, and more.
My first book,The Fearless Baker (2017) was named one of the Best Baking Books of the year by the New York Times. My second, The Book on Pie, (2020) is a New York Times Bestseller. My latest, Savory Baking (2022) is about baking beyond sweets - for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!

Erin Jeanne McDowell will be presenting a virtual baking demo on Tuesday, December 5 at 7:00PM. If you are interested in attending Register Here.

Register for any recipe below or any recipe from the cookbook. We will email you a recipe and/or put a cookbook on hold for you. Please register so we know how much cutlery to have on hand.

How it works:

  1. Register for a recipe below or call 978-526-7711.
  2. Make enough to share (for about 10-20 people) and bring your own serving utensils.
  3. Come to the library and be prepared to eat, share, chat, and connect over food. We'll be talking about what you liked or didn't like about the cookbook, how you picked your recipe, and if you modified it at all.

Per the Public Health Department:

  • This is a potluck event, the food is donated and shared, it does not come from a licensed kitchen.
  • The library is not liable for allergies but all cooks are encouraged to bring an ingredient card with their food so we can be aware of allergens.

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that there will be gluten free or vegetarian/vegan options as attendees will choose the dishes they will make. We will, though, have individual meetings that focus on various topics that may feature these kinds of choices.
