Cook the Books: Stuffed or Rolled Cuisine

About

Cook the Books meets once per month on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30PM in the Watertown Free Public Library's Café and registration is required - spots are limited. Participants are expected to bring a dish to share in a potluck style that matches the theme of the month. If you need help accessing our shared RSVP document below, please contact afry@watertown-ma.gov. Cook the Books is a monthly cookbook club. Every month a cookbook theme is selected. Members select one recipe from any cookbook that meets the theme, and bring the food to the Watertown Library to enjoy as a club. All members would discuss what it was like cooking the recipes, what they learned, and just bond over great food and company! The goal is to (1) engage people in the community who love cooking, have been doing so for years and could be great resources to others (2) get people excited about cooking who may be newer to it/ want to learn more (3) act as a way for folks who are foodies to bond - because what better way to meet people than through a good meal.
