Advent Day 13, 2021: Santa Lucia’s Cookbook Club

Today’s Advent TBD is to Celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia by having a Cookbook-Club-in-a-Day!

What does that mean?

To celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia, we will keep the candles burning and feast. I’ve been dying to start a cookbook club and haven’t yet organized it. So, the family will be trying one cookbook in one day. In the morning, we will have a quick look through my two small shelves of hardbound cookbooks and my extensive e-book cookbook library. We’ll quickly draw a title. Then, we’ll browse through the book and choose recipes to make for at least two meals. If necessary, we’ll do a quick grocery trip. Though, I hope we’ll be able to make our recipes with the groceries we have on hand. Then, we’ll test these recipes for our lunch and dinner!


And the book we’ve decided upon is….

Nigel Slater, A Cook’s Book, Harper Collins Canada
