Cookin' the Books is a bookclub for people who love to cook — each month we get together and discuss a different cookbook. Each person registered makes a recipe from a chosen cookbook, brings it in and the group samples the recipes and discusses the pros and cons of the recipes and the cookbook. If you love to cook or bake and love sharing food with friends, Cookin' The Books is for you!

This month's choice is: Make it Ahead: a Barefoot Contessa Cookbook by Ina Garten. 

Cookbooks will be available at the Circulation Desk. When you've decided on your recipe, please send an email with your choice and any questions to aatkins@cityof woburn.com
