Cookbook Club: All-American Foods! Friday, July 17 at 2:00 p.m. (Community room)

Chefs, join us in our Community Room to share, sample, and swap All-American Foods, with no RSVP needed! Don’t feel like cooking? You’re still welcome at our table: Come on down and pick up tips, tricks, and advice to bring back with you to the kitchen when you do feel like cooking!

All-American food is an amalgamation of dishes brought by immigrants and Indigenous foodways, adapted with local ingredients over centuries. These foods are deeply woven into the nation’s cultural identity and often celebrated for their comforting, down-home appeal. Because America is a massive melting pot, a truly “All-American” meal isn’t defined by a single origin, but rather by what Americans adopted, reinvented, and consume as national staples.
