EVPL eRoom A Events

A virtual cooking class series for kids! Learn about the tradition of food and cooking as well as the local food system and land use. Follow along to try new recipes found in amazing books!

Presenters with Urban Seeds and EVPL will teach youth how to prepare a recipe while connecting them to the local food system. We encourage you to prepare a dish to share with family and start a dialogue about the cooking tradition in your family. 

Registrants for this event will receive basic cooking equipment (if needed) and five books with the first ingredient pick-up. Ingredients will be available for pick up from the chosen library location between 1pm-5pm the day before the virtual session*.  This program is intended for ages 8 through 12, but siblings and other family members are encouraged to join in the fun. Please note that some sessions will involve use of a small kitchen knife.

Book n' Cook is a series of programs. Attendance to all monthly classes is not mandatory, but encouraged for consistency.

NOTICE: Please make us aware of any food allergies you may have.

*Pick-up locations are dependent upon library schedules and potential closures due to renovations. Pick-up locations may change monthly based on these factors. NOTE: EVPL West will NOT be available for ingredient pick-up the month of October (Fall Festival closure). All ingredients typically sent to West will be available for pick-up at EVPL Red Bank for that month only.
