The Friends of the Jones Library is pleased to offer a one-of-a-kind cookbook, The Well Read Cook. Since its publication in the fall of 2017, proceeds from the sale of the cookbook have benefited all three Amherst town libraries. The Friends of the Jones, friends, family, library patrons, and locals have all contributed their tastiest tried-and-true recipes into a single book that will be treasured for generations to come. This mouth-watering cookbook contains almost 300 recipes — everything from appetizers to desserts. Each recipe includes the contributor’s name, so it’s easy to find the recipes of friends and neighbors.
Pull a toddler into the kitchen and make homemade play dough (p. 142). Impress your dinner guests with your Dead-Vegetable Soup (p. 27). Tell former State Senator Stan Rosenberg what you really think…of his pasta sauce recipe (p. 73).
Cookbooks are available in the Jones Library Front Office and The Baker’s Pin in Northampton.
To whet your appetite, here’s a tasty recipe from The Well Read Cook:
