Join us for a cookbook club-meets-potluck at Peterborough Town Library!

This month, your dish must come from Deb Perelman's cookbook - Smitten Kitchen Keepers: New Classics for Your Forever Files! Books are available at the Help Desk for check out or browsing. 

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A BON APPETIT and EPICURIOUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • The long-awaited new book from the best-selling and beloved author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook and Smitten Kitchen Every Day—a collection of essential recipes for meals you'll want to prepare again and again.

Deb Perelman is the author of two best-selling cookbooks; one of the internet's most successful food bloggers; the creator of a homegrown brand with more than a million Instagram followers; and the self-taught cook with the tiny kitchen who obsessively tests her recipes to make sure that no bowls are wasted and that the results are always worth the effort.

Please email Rebecca the name of the dish you plan to make so there are no duplicate dishes. Her email is renman@peterboroughnh.gov

How does it work?

New members are always welcome to attend, but registration is required so that we know how many to expect. 

The Dinner Club gathers on the second Thursday of the month in the Eben Jones Classroom. Each month will feature a new cuisine or cooking theme.

Every month we will try a new cuisine or cooking theme. Share your cooking tips and tricks and indulge in lively discussions that will spice up your culinary adventures. Hosted by PTL’s Program & Outreach Librarian, Rebecca, we meet our neighbors, make new friends, and have fun trying delicious new foods!

Plates, bowls, napkins, basic utensils, sparkling water and green tea are provided. Please bring your own serving ware and trivets (if needed). For more information please email Rebecca at renman@peterboroughnh.gov


This program is free and open to all. Please note that library parking is not guaranteed and Thursday evenings are a busy night at the library. Patrons who are able are encouraged to take advantage of Peterborough’s walkable downtown by parking in the Depot Square or Riverwalk lots.
