The Santa Maria Public Library holds its next virtual cookbook meeting—What’s Cookin’ Santa Maria?—on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 3 to 4 p.m. Participants will discuss author Joseph Shuldiner’s The New Homemade Kitchen. This cookbook was written with both professional chefs and home cooks in mind and includes 250 different recipes as well as tips on preserving, canning, and fermenting.
Prior to this month’s meeting, attendees are also encouraged to choose a recipe from the book to make and share their results with the group. Library card holders can access the book through Hoopla (email sstarnaud@cityofsantamaria.org for details). For more info on the club, call (805) 925-0994 or visit cityofsantamaria.org/city-government/departments/library.
