In March, The Food Group will discuss and share recipes from The French Chef Cookbook by Julia Child. The cookbook contains over 300 hundred French recipes from the iconic show of the same name that aired on WGBH from 1963-1973.

Prepare a recipe from the cookbook and bring it in to share with your Brighton friends and neighbors — or just bring your appetite! Making a dish is not required to attend this program.

Print copies will be available to check out at the front desk of the Brighton Branch in March while supplies last.

Email msweeney1@bpl.org with any questions or to receive a reminder before the event.

The Food Group is a Brighton Branch Library potluck and book club for cookbooks. We meet on either the 3rd or 4th Saturday every month from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM.
