Join us for this interactive cooking series where we will highlight delicious recipes from cookbooks in our collection. A library staff member will demonstrate how to make the dishes with patron participation. Supplies are provided and registration is required. 

Long grain white rice is what is commonly found in grocery stores but there are many varieties with different tastes, colors and textures.  This workshop will introduce participants to recipes using rice that is not the typical white rice.
