Sidetrack Cookbook Club - The Big Book of Bread

* *Note: $5 registration fee can be used as a credit toward a purchase in-store. The credit expires the night of book club.**

We're changing things up and testing out a Cookbook Club! Attendees will RSVP as usual, and a week or two prior to the meeting date, we'll send out a sign-up link where you can indicate the recipe you'll be making and bringing from the book. The sign-up will help ensure we have a variety of recipes to taste test! Make enough to share as we have some good eats and chats. The featured cookbook will be available for sale at Sidetrack.

This month's theme is BREADS AND SPREADS. Make a bread from the book, and/or a favorite spread to top all the delicious carbs we'll be sampling. It'll be a great practice run for upcoming holiday baking.

We will provide paper products (plates, cups, silverware). Please bring any necessary serving dishes and serving utensils for your chosen recipe. This cookbook should offer lots of options for shelf-stable treats, but you can bring a small cooler or warming device for your recipe if needed. Please note that electrical hook-ups are VERY limited at the store so you should not count on access to electricity for your items.
