Cookbook Club - Meadville Public Library

April's theme is "Fun with Fungi" - make a recipe that uses mushrooms.

Join the French Creek Arts Collective for their monthly Cookbook Club meeting! Here's how it works: borrow a cookbook from the library, choose a recipe to try at home, then bring the dish and the cookbook to our potluck gathering. This is a great opportunity to try new foods, find new inspiration, and meet other cooking enthusiasts! Please bring dishes and flatware for yourself and your guests to reduce waste!

About French Creek Arts Collective: We are a collective of visual, performing, and musical artists located in Meadville and the surrounding communities. We are looking to provide opportunities for local creatives to network, share their talents, and learn from one other! Email us at frenchcreekartscollective@gmail.com with ideas or questions!
