Cooking the Books

Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Explore our cookbook collection for a recipe that matches our theme and make a dish to share with the group.

Sign up to join our cookbook club! Each quarter, we explore a new theme or ingredient while diving into recipes found using one of the library’s many free resources. Prior to the meeting, find a recipe that matches the theme. Bring your completed dish and the recipe resource you used to the meeting and enjoy sampling creations while discussing culinary tips, tricks, and inspiration with fellow attendees. This month’s theme is Thanksgiving side dishes!

At each meeting, every participant will receive a booklet with the recipes we are sampling. If you would like your recipe to be included, please submit it to either cnoble@bettendorf.org or ckennedy@bettendorf.org by the Wednesday before the meeting.
