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.

Monday, December 11 @ 7PM – 8PM on Zoom

With the holidays right around the corner, take a minute (or an hour) to relax and find some good holiday romance reads! John Charles will give us his “best of” list of 2023 that will have your TBR pile tipping over and your holidays spent cozying up to a good book (bring your own hot toddy!). No need to bring papyrus and quill, we’ll send out a list after the session. We hope you can join us!

• Identify how to foster community engagement and participation;
• Review policies and procedures, and root causes which might inhibit community
engagement; and
• Identify opportunities for improvements in becoming a more inclusive town and better serve
all residents.
