Have you got a cookbook that you reach for every time you have a special event or need some kitchen inspiration? Do you have a recipe or dish that you’re practically legally obliged to make for every family gathering? We want to hear about it – and better yet, we want to taste it!
Come along to our new social club at the library, Crime & Nourishment, where we share our favourite recipes and have the opportunity to try something new, and do a little crime solving! So how does it work?

Choose a recipe from your favourite cookbook / website / blog / family recipe binder (check out our Facebook to see if there’s a theme for this month)
Perform some kitchen magic and whip up your star dish (if you can – bringing food is not a requirement)
Bring along a copy of your recipe (and a plate of food if sharing) to the library and tell the group about its inspiration or importance to you
Enjoy some morning tea and solve this month’s murder mystery puzzle!

Please register your attendance here.
