Culinary Book and Cookbook Club
We are pleased to expand our current members only culinary Book Club with the introduction of our new interactive Cookbook Club. For two months, enjoy recipes and share feedback on the selected cookbook. We will culminate with a dinner and discussion focusing on the current cookbook and some of its featured recipes.
Our culinary Book Club and interactive Cookbook Club will alternate months; you do not need to participate in both or commit to all months. There will be ample time allocated to cooking from each cookbook and commenting on recipes that members have tried. We will be using Eat Your Books, an easy online service to comment and make notes on the recipes as we cook them. Even if you are unable to attend the meeting, you can participate by cooking and commenting on any recipes from the book we are using.
We have a busy season ahead of us-let's get busy reading, cooking, and eating!

Clémentine in the Kitchen discussion - 7:30PM
Event limited to members, RSVP required, no fee
For our last Book Club of this season -- on May 31st, we will be discussing Samuel Chamberlain's Clémentine in the Kitchen.
First published in 1943, this book tells the tale of Clémentine, the Chamberlain's beloved cook, who relocates with the family to Marblehead from France. Part gastronomic diary, and part cookbook, this book tells of Clémentine's affect on one small New England town -- and its influence on her and her cooking.

Cookbook Club
Thursday, June 14th, 2012 — Get cooking!
Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty potluck and discussion - 6:30PM
Event limited to members, RSVP required, no fee
On June 14th, we will be enjoying and sharing dishes made from Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi while discussing the book and its recipes.
Yotam Ottolenghi has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting talents to watch in the culinary world. Plenty is an exclusive collection of vegetarian recipes, drawn from Ottolenghi's column The New Vegetarian in the Guardian's Weekend magazine, and features brand-new recipes as well as dishes that were created exclusively for that column. Although not a vegetarian himself, his approach to vegetable dishes is truly original and innovative, with recipes based on strong flavors and stunning, fresh combinations — making this book a must-have for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.
