Discussing & Connecting

Discuss and connect with others in the community.

Get together (in person or virtually) with fellow food-enthusiasts and put a cookbook to the test!

Every month we’ll select a new cookbook or cookbook author from the NVDPL collection and you pick recipes you’d like to try out. At the meeting, you’ll share your experience with the recipe!

This month we are cooking from New Indian Basics by Preena Chauhan.

A copy of the book will be available at Capilano Library. Come have a look and pick out a recipe to try!

 

Registration required. Register online or call 604-987-4471, ext. 8175.

This meeting will take place in person at Capilano Library AND on Zoom. What you’ll need to join the Zoom meeting: A computer with microphone (or headphones) and webcam for Zoom; or your smartphone/tablet. We will email you the Zoom link in advance of the event.
