MTL Cookbook Club: “Jubliee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking” (In-person)

Join us for the MTL Cookbook Club – part book club, part culinary tasting!  Each meeting will focus on a particular cookbook from the Library’s collection.  Group members are invited to read the book, select a recipe to cook, and enjoy sampling with one another as we discuss.
