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 selection is:  I Could Nosh: Classic Jew-ish Recipes Revamped for Every Day by Jake Cohen

COOKIE SWAP - Please bring 3 dozen of your favorite holiday cookies to swap!
