WED 12/6 Cookbook Club

Wednesday, December 6 @ 7PM – 8PM

Come discuss the cookbook “Beyond Borscht” by Tatyana Nesteruk!

Bring the warming, fresh and savory flavors of Ukraine and Eastern Europe into your kitchen. This beautiful and personal collection was born from Tatyana Nesteruk’s authentic Ukrainian family recipes passed down through generations. From growing up in a close-knit Slavic community that gathered daily to celebrate food, Tatyana learned the art of honoring tradition while also making the recipes accessible for the modern home cook. Her simple instructions and treasure chest of time-honored dishes will have you flawlessly re-creating the food you love―or have yet to discover!

Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish from the book to share and we will eat as we discuss this month’s book.

Stop by reference to pick up a copy.
