National Slow Cooking Month at the Library

STPL Adult & Teen Staff Noteworthy Days and Events, Reading Recommendations Activities, Adults, Cookbooks, Cooking, Reading Recommendations

January is National Slow Cooking Month!

To celebrate, we gathered some titles for you to check out.

The librarians here at Shorewood-Troy Public Library not only love slow cookers, but also pressure cookers! Sometimes your appliance can do both (like the Instant Pot)!

Unsure of what a pressure cooker is, how to use it, or what to make in it? The adult services librarians can help!

Once a month, the library will run a program on how to make family friendly recipes. In January, get to know your new pressure cooker by making hard boiled eggs. In February, we are going to get ready for the Super Bowl by making chicken wings!

Click the images below to register for one or both programs.

Fun Fall Food: Cookbooks for New Family Favorites

STPL Adult & Teen Staff Families, Reading Recommendations Activities, Baking, Cookbooks, Cooking, Fall, Families, Recipes

With October here, fall is in full swing. Do you know what that means? Cooking in the oven again! The smells of warm spices and fresh apples will be everywhere!

If you’ve been looking for some new recipes to try out, you’re in luck! The library has a vast selection of cookbooks, as well as e-books on hoopla and Overdrive/Libby.

We tried out a recipe for caramelized pumpkin bread, from Half the Sugar, All the Love: A Family Cookbook by Jennifer Tyler Lee and Anisha Patel. It was delicious and healthy(ish)!

Can’t make it into the library? Not a problem. This title is also available on hoopla.

This book is perfect for the whole family, as the authors share tips on how to get kids involved too. Too busy to make it and bake it in one night? Tips on prepping and making ahead are also included.

Ready to get baking? Check out some of these other fall favorites as well:
