This relaxed discussion group is for people who enjoy sharing information, ideas and opinions about cookery books over a cup of tea or coffee. Each meeting will begin with a short presentation by a participant on a theme previously agreed and everyone is welcome to bring relevant books for us to look at. Themes are decided according to participants' interests, but have included: cookery books for presents; European, Middle Eastern and South East Asian cuisines; vegetarian cookery; avoiding waste; entertaining; celebrity chefs; cooking with children; family heirlooms and sources of recipes nowadays, ice cream making and home economics in the 1960s. We often swap recipes and sometimes sample prepared food, where appropriate. NB cookery skills are not a requirement - an interest in cookery books is! Giving a presentation is not obligatory. The organiser will give the first presentation.
