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

This month we'll be cooking from Third Culture Cooking: Classic Recipes for a New Generation by Zaynab Issa.

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. Let us know what recipe you'll be making when you return the cookbook to the reference desk.

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:

"Bon Appetit contributor and food influencer Zaynab Issa offers a singular cookbook on New American home cooking that features recipes influenced by immigration, travel, heritage, and social media

A celebration of her multiculturalism, Zaynab Issa’s debut cookbook comes with recipes that draw from all over the world, with dishes like Creamy Chutney Pasta, Persian Salmon Kebabs, and Adobo-Style Braised Short Ribs. She is influenced by her experience growing up in a 'third culture': a combination of the Indian-African-Middle Eastern foods of her parents' upbringing and the American culture that Zaynab was raised in. The recipes reflect both Zaynab's heritage and her carefree, bold cooking nature. She encourages readers to play around with their recipes and ingredients to create their perfect dish. Need a substitution? She’s got plenty.

Fans of Eric Kim, Priya Krishna, Palak Patel, and Alison Roman will flock to her recipes as she walks readers through the food closest to her heart. Nodding to classic preparations and flavors, Zaynab’s cooking is fresh and original while still being home-cook friendly." - from Goodreads.com
