The Cookbook Club meets once a month to share recipes from a new cookbook off our library shelves. December's pick is My Vermont Table : Recipes for All (Six) Seasons by Gesine Bullock-Prado. 

About the author:  Gesine Bullock-Prado runs a baking school called Sugar Glider Kitchen. She is the host of "Baked in Vermont" on Food Network. She has six books on baking, one of them is a baker's memoir, about how I changed my life and moved clear across the country to open a pastry shop called MY LIFE FROM SCRATCH. From time to time, I also teach baking at King Arthur Flour in Norwich, Vermont and Stonewall Kitchen in York, Maine. My next book explores the 6 (yes 6) seasons of Vermont. It's called A VERMONT TABLE, is coming out March 2023, and is full of all kinds of recipes (not just baking!).

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. Please see info below from the public health department. Email mwillwerth@manchesterpl.org with any questions.

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.
