Cook the Book: Bountiful Breads

If happiness is biting into a good slice of bread, you’re sure to be happy if you join us for this month’s Cook the Book. 

Cook the Book is a monthly foodie meeting of the stomachs with Plano Public Library. Each month, we celebrate a different theme. Next out of the oven is Bountiful Breads! 

Cook the Book is a hybrid program: we’re meeting at Davis Library and via Zoom on Tuesday, September 20 at 1 p.m. Register for Cook the Book here, and you can join in whatever way that suits you. You will receive a confirmation email that includes the Zoom meeting link, in case you want to join virtually. Prepare something delicious to “share” virtually with others. For those meeting in-person, bring the finished dish so everyone can get a sample. Don’t forget the recipe!
