Cookbook Club

In November, Orrville Public Library’s Cookbook Club will be exploring Deb Perelman’s third cookbook, “Smitten Kitchen Keepers: New Classics for Your Forever Files.” These are fail-safe, satisfying recipes that you will want to prepare again and again. Recipes include chicken and dumplings, deep-dish broccoli cheddar quiche, tomato and corn cobbler, butterscotch apple crisp and Deb’s ultimate pound cake.

Pick up a copy of the cookbook at the library Circulation Desk and plan to come to the 6 p.m. meeting on Monday, Nov. 4. Prepare a dish or two to share with others. No registration is necessary.

For more information, contact the Information Desk at 330-683-1065.

Supplies are limited and registration is required. Register beginning Monday, Oct. 28 by clicking on the event on the library website calendar, www.orrville.lib.oh.us, or by contacting the Information Desk at 330-683-1065.
