Make It Ahead

Used this cookbook for my library program “Cookin the Books.”

We had our very first meeting on September 1. Everyone agreed that the recipes we picked were all delicious.

The recipes we used were: Tomatoes & Burrata, Parmesan Kale Chips, Quinoa Tabblouleh with Feta, Winter Slaw, Summer Vegetable Couscous, Baked Farro & Butternut Squash, Spinach & Ricotta Noodle Pudding, and Salty Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies.

All of the recipes received positive reviews. Many of the patrons that came specifically came because they loved Ina Garten and her cookbooks. She provides great pictures for each recipe.

We found for the most part the ingredients easy to locate. The recipes were very easy to follow and our food looked like the pictures in the book.

It was a great first meeting and already looking forward to the next “Cookin the Books” meeting!
