Cook the Book: Small Bites

This September we’re eating canapes, hors de’oeuvres, finger foods and more.

Cook the Book is our monthly foodie-literary meet up, and is next meeting on Tuesday, September 15 at 1 p.m. This month we’re talking all about small bites, and our favorite recipes and tips that go along with them.

Prepare a dish to share with others via Zoom and bring with your favorite recipes. Register online here.

Many cookbooks have a chapter on appetizers and small bites. Below are some of the cookbooks we have in the library collection covering tapas, cheese boards, sweet morsels and more, with links to check them out.
