Welcome to the Cookbook Club! Everyone is welcome to join our friendly, informal group.  For our September meeting we will be sharing recipes from Pretty Delicious by Alia Elkaffas & Radwa Elkaffas.  

Born and raised in the Midwest to parents originally from Egypt, sisters Alia and Radwa Elkaffas created their Food Dolls platform to answer the question of how to put an exciting and healthful meal on the table without spending hours in the kitchen.  In their first book, Pretty Delicious,  they share more than 100 weeknight-friendly dishes infused with the vibrant and complex Mediterranean flavors they grew up eating.  These recipes will leave you inspired and excited to get in the kitchen and make something pretty delicious!

Cookbooks are available one month prior to the meeting at the Circulation Desk.  Please register and let us know what you're bringing to avoid duplication.
