"Aunt Linda Doesn't Eat WHAT?" And Other Holiday Cooking Fun

November 22, 2011

It's that time of year again: The Holidays. Thanksgiving is this week (!!!) and Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Saturnalia, and a whole bunch of other celebrations are right around the corner.

If your holidays go anything like mine, then you are probably cooking a huge family dinner or three. It's also at the last minute that you find out your meal for six is actually for 14, that your distant cousin Francis is now on a gluten-free raw Paleolithic diet, or that Uncle Joe has unfortunately developed diabetes. That's when I have to hit the books.

There are tons of cookbooks here at the library, from traditional holiday favorites to special diets for health or philosophical reasons. Whether it be kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free or diabetic cooking, we have it here at the library. Having trouble finding the right cookbook in the catalog? Then, give us a call at 816.630.6721, or come to the Excelsior Springs Branch. We'll help you find the perfect book.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! The library is closed that day, and we will all be at home eating our Turkeys, Turduckens, and Tofurkeys. We will be open again Friday though, ready to help you with your holiday planning!
