Cookbook Club: Holiday Year in Review 2021

Sunday, December 12 – 5:00pm

Our holiday year-in-review event was a little different this year. We chose recipes from any of the cookbooks from our 2021 Cookbook Club events, but since we were only able to have gatherings for about half the year (thanks COVID) we also opened it up for people to bring off-book dishes as well. As you can see, a ton of people came out to celebrate another year of good food and friends. With so many people and dishes from a variety of sources at this event, I just snapped pics of what everyone brought without doing any write-ups. That allowed me to spend more time socializing and enjoying the peppermint chocolate martinis – definitely a fantastic time!

Barbara set up dining space in her backyard for more than 40 people, with holiday tablecloths and chair coverings, ornament and fairy light centerpieces, and several fire pits to keep us warm! We did our traditional food-themed white elephant exchange, which was quite the affair with so many people – lots of fun gifts and stealing of popular items ranging from champagne to a hot dog spiral slicer. Looking forward to more Cookbook Club in 2022!
