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

This month, your dish must come from Ina Garten's cookbook - Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust! Books are available at the Help Desk for check out or browsing. 

In Barefoot Contessa Foolproof, Ina shows you how to make a game plan so everything is served hot while you keep your cool. With 150 gorgeous color photographs and Ina’s invaluable tips, Barefoot Contessa Foolproof is a stunning yet infinitely practical cookbook that home cooks will turn to again and again.

How does it work?

The Dinner Club gathers on the second Thursday of the month in the Eben Jones Classroom or on the library terrace (weather permitting). Each month will feature a different cooking theme or cookbook. New members are always welcome to attend, but registration is required so that we know how many to expect. 

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.
