Add to Calendar 2025-05-20 18:00:00 2025-05-20 19:30:00 America/Denver Cookbook Club: Ottolenghi Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi Let's get together and cook a potluck of recipes from our chosen cookbook! Durango Public Library - Room 2

Let's get together and cook a potluck of recipes from our chosen cookbook!

Here's how it works:

1. Register for the club.

2. Check out a copy of the cookbook from the reference desk.

3. Choose a recipe.

4. Email darcy.poletti@durangoco.gov to let her know what recipe you'll be making.

5. Cook the recipe for a group potluck at the library!

Plus, we'll be raffling off copies of the cookbook at the meeting!

More about the cookbook:

"In Ottolenghi Simple, powerhouse author and chef Yotam Ottolenghi presents 130 streamlined recipes packed with his signature Middle Eastern–inspired flavors, all simple in at least (and often more than) one way: made in 30 minutes or less, with 10 or fewer ingredients, in a single pot, using pantry staples, or prepared ahead of time for brilliantly, deliciously simple meals. Brunch gets a make-over with Braised Eggs with Leeks and Za’atar; Cauliflower, Pomegranate, and Pistachio Salad refreshes the side-dish rotation; Lamb and Feta Meatballs bring ease to the weeknight table; and every sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied by the spectacular Fig and Thyme Clafoutis. With more than 130 photographs, this is elemental Ottolenghi for everyone."
