Dish! Cookbook Book Discussion: American Table by Smithsonian Institution (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

A sweeping history of food and culture that summons everyone to the table! Books are available for pickup in the library lobby.

American Table presents a fresh look at what and how we've fed ourselves for sustenance and pleasure through the lens of location, immigration, ingenuity, innovation, and culture. Learn about Native American growers and chefs who are reclaiming and reinventing Indigenous ingredients and cooking techniques.

Cook your way through American history with over 40 iconic and notable recipes offered throughout the book. With chapters spanning coast to coast and stretching over centuries, this enlightening, enriching, and entertaining collection uncovers the many histories of American food.

Pick up the cookbook American Table from the lobby hold shelf and try some recipes! Snap pictures of your creations and email them to klentz@gpld.org. We'll share them with the group on Jul. 11.
