We had a good time at our very first Cookbook Club meeting although attendance was a bit sparse. We each made a Cuban themed recipe from the AtoZ World Foods link on the library website. Cuban background music played while we ate our dinner. Our menu included:
Lechon Asado (Roast Pork) - very fresh and delicious
Picadillo - a side dish featuring ground beef, potatoes, green pepper onion, and green olives, quite tasty
Platillo Moros y Cristianos - a vegetarian dish, rice and beans
We had Cuban cigars (Rolos) for dessert. We played a little Cuban trivia, visited, and got to know each other better.
The cookbook for next month's recipes will be Abraham Lincoln in the Kitchen A Culinary View of Lincoln's Life and Times by Rae Katherine Eighmey. So far, one person has signed up to bring Almond Pound Cake. There is a very interesting story in the book of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln's courtship and the almond cake that she made for him. Back in their day, it was a two day process to make the cake. The February meeting will be on Tuesday, February 27th. We are debating on the starting time, either 6 pm or 7 pm.
In March, we plan on going back to the AtoZ World Foods link and prepare recipes from Ireland. Our March meeting will be on Tuesday, March 27th.
If you like to cook and you have adventurous taste buds, you can join our cookbook club. Call the library and let us know if you are interested.
