Cookbook Book Club

Love to cook and want to try and share new recipes? Join us on the first Monday of the month for our Cook the Books Club where we meet to discuss all things cooking. Each month features a new theme that encourages participants to try something new in the kitchen. Participants make a recipe or two that matches that months theme and then meet to discuss how it went and what they learned. 

If you would like to share pictures of your cooking successes or failures to be shown during our meeting, please submit them to tplprograms@tempe.gov.

No samples, please.
