The Norristown cookbook club is back by popular demand. Each month we choose a cookbook. It is put on display at the circulation desk at the Norristown Public Library. Choose a recipe and make free copies or order the book from another library (or find an ebook copy if available). Make the recipe at home and bring it to cookbook club to share. We will taste and discuss the chosen recipes. Register by emailing Jeanne at JCove@mclinc.org or using the events tab on this website (click on the event listing and scroll down to the register button).
Our next meeting will be Monday, January 13, 2025. We will be discussing and cooking from The Complete Autumn & Winter Cookbook: 550+ Recipes for Warming Dinners, Holiday Roasts, Seasonal Desserts, Breads, Food Gifts, and More by America’s Test Kitchen.
The Complete Autumn & Winter Cookbook: 550+ Recipes for Warming Dinners, Holiday Roasts, Seasonal Desserts, Breads, Food Gifts, and More by America’s Test Kitchen – The colder months of autumn and winter are a time of cozying up and gathering with those closest to us. And what better way to spend those chillier nights than cooking new recipes or using new ingredients? A home-cooked meal on a chilly night is particularly special because it can be so easy to fall into a cycle of unimaginative pastas and potatoes, or even more tempting . . . delivery. Whether you live alone or are part of a large family, making nutritious and filling meals at home brings a sense of comfort and tradition.
This comprehensive cookbook highlights seasonal produce like winter squashes, citrus, and greens; entire chapters are dedicated to reader favorites pumpkin and apple. Recipes speak to numerous holidays and occasions from Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah to New Year’s Eve celebrations and Super Bowl parties. Find helpful tips and tricks for whether you’re mastering Prime Rib, curious about what to do with parsnips, plus informational step photos and shopping tips for equipment.
