We started one in Fall 2019, which only met a few times before the pandemic killed it. It was really popular, though, and a lot of fun!</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif;">
I made the book a reference item for a month or so before the meeting, and then people would photocopy the recipes and leave a bookmark in the ones they’d chosen to make. Then everyone would show up with their dishes, we’d serve and sit down to eat. People
would start off talking about their chosen recipes, what worked and what didn’t, and then conversation flowed really naturally from there. It drew a wide spectrum of patrons of all ages, and was pretty low-key and easy on our end. I cooked for each session
because I enjoy cooking, but really all we had to do was put out plates & cutlery and the patrons took it from there.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Franklin Gothic Book", sans-serif; color: black;">When you meet up, do you just talk about the recipes? Do you offer information and discussion based on the theme of the cookbook?</span></p>
