Share a favorite recipe and discover something new! Bring a recipe to swap with others, and, if you’d like, bring a small sample dish to share. We’ll talk favorite family recipes, summer dishes, cookbooks, and easy meals to try at home. Bringing food is optional; everyone is welcome to come browse recipes and join the conversation.

Guidelines

Bring a recipe to share. Bringing a sample dish is welcome but not required. Please include a full ingredient list and clearly mark common allergens. For food safety reasons, dishes should arrive ready to serve; no cooking or major preparation will take place during the program. Samples should be small, and contributors are responsible for serving and monitoring their own dishes.

The library cannot guarantee that shared foods are allergen-free. Patrons with food allergies or dietary restrictions should review ingredient cards and use their own judgment before sampling.
