Thank you for joining me for cookbook club in July. The next cookbook club will be on September 23, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. The theme will be Charcuterie. I have not decided what dish I am not sure if I want to do a s'mores board or a savory board. I will have cookbooks available at the front desk for you to check out if you would like. Here are the recipes from last month. I am looking forward to all the dishes in September. The rules for cookbook club are, you do not have to bring a dish you are more than welcome to come and eat. If you do bring a dish all I ask is that it goes with the theme. You can get the recipe from any source, a cookbook, online, a family recipe, or you can make up a new recipe.
