The State Library is excited to bring you a virtual demonstration program of Cooks + Books from Sticky Fingers Cooking on Thursday, April 8, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. This train-the-trainer model will show attendees how to hold a virtual program involving a chapter book and recipe preparation. Let your favorite books come to life in the kitchen! In our Cooks + Books series, we’ll read our favorite books and cook up recipes inspired by the story within. Young chefs will spark their imaginations in this hands-on literary and culinary experience! This online workshop is limited to 30 attendees and will not be recorded so spaces will go quickly. Learn more and register today!
