Summer Picnic in Navy Yard Park. Take a trip around the culinary world. This month we're going on a picnic in the park and tasting the foods of France.

Summer at the Library!

We pick the theme, you select and make a recipe.  A new theme or cuisine will be explored each time we meet.  Ask us for details then sign out a cookbook or use our online resources to find your recipe.  Prepare your recipe for the program and bring the finished product to share with the group. We’ll talk about your dish and swap tips and tricks!

We're going to meet near the gazebo in the Navy Yard Park to celebrate the foods of France with un pique-nique! Choose an easy-to-eat French-inspired recipe and share it with the group.  Please bring a lawn chair if you require one.  We will supply the blankets.  

In case of inclement weather, we will meet in the library basement.  

Cost: Free

Contact us at the Amherstburg Branch with any questions or if you need some help with recipe ideas!
