Program Description

Event Details

Cooks & Books celebrates Spanish Heritage Month by diving into the bold, soulful flavors of Puerto Rico! Whether we’re exploring the traditional staples of the Easy Puerto Rican Cookbook or the modern, mainland-meets-island recipes of Diasporican, it’s all about the 'holy trinity' of garlic, peppers, and onions. 
Come for the sofrito, stay for the stories, and discover why the kitchen is the heart of the Puerto Rican home!

🍽️

Cooks & Books is an opportunity for passionate home cooks to gather around the table for conversation over a potluck feast of delicious food made from the recipes of a featured chef, food blog, or cookbook. Why not invite a friend to join you? The more, the merrier!

Attendees, who should be 14 years of age or older, are asked to bring a dish to share. Vegan/vegetarian recipes are welcome. Please bring your own serving utensils, place setting, and beverage.

New and experienced cooks are welcome! 
The event is free, but reservations are required!
 Please cancel your registration if you cannot attend!
