"Cook the Book" is a book group hosted by the Belleville Area District Library. It gives patrons a number of weeks to try recipes from 4-5 theme related cookbooks. Besides our scheduled live discussion meeting, we are providing a blogging platform for continuous discussion, postings of tried recipes, tips & tricks, etc.
For new / current members who are interested in following or contributing to the blog, here is a little explanation of the blog's layout:
Along the upper tabs of the landing page:
- Next to the "Cook the Book" Intro tab, will include the title of our current session. That page will include an session introduction post, plus 4-5 cookbook posts, where members can input their recipe reviews under specific cookbooks.
- The next tab will include information on future sessions, which will include dates, decided themes, and polls (themes and cookbooks recommendations).
- Final tab New Recipes?, is a page to post any non-cookbook group related recipes that you found so good you had to share.
Along the right of the landing page:
- Author introductory profile
- Followers: click to be alerted of any updates to the blog
- Past Themes: where you can view and review any past session cookbooks.
Thank you all for joining this book group.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Theresa Spiteri-Zaidel. I am the current host of the "Cook the Book" book group as well as one of your Adult Services Librarian at the Belleville Area District Library. Now a little about myself. I have been married for 3 years (in relationship 10+), I am a mom to a 2 year old little girl, and to two 6 year old Siberian huskies. My current knowledge of food I give credit to my husband who had assisted in expanding my knowledge of food. Now 10 + years later, I regularly try new recipes from a variety of old and new cookbooks. Of which, during the winter 2019, I expanded my culinary knowledge into baking breads (not much desserts yet). So far my little girl has been cooperative with the new dishes (knock on wood). I am looking forward to trying new recipes from our various theme related cookbooks and hearing everyone's personal experiences at trying some new recipes.
