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, April 28, 2025. (We are meeting on the 4th Monday of April to accommodate those observing Passover). We will be discussing and cooking from Does this Taste Funny?: Recipes our Family Loves by Stephen Colbert and Evie McGee Colbert

In their first cookbook, the Colbert couple share their many stories through food. Their collaboration reveals their deep love for their heritage, specifically the low country of South Carolina (tipping a hat to the culinary influence of the Gullah Geechee culture and its West African roots) and to their close-knit families, who are honored throughout.
