The Recipe Quest

Cooking is like an adventure, or a science experiment. You start off with a few simple ingredients, then before you know it, an awesome treat is waiting to be eaten. And it will taste better because you made it!

Libraries have rows and rows of cookbooks waiting to be checked out. From Asian cooking to Vietnamese cooking, all types of foods are represented there. Try something different! But remember, take special care not to spill or splatter while cooking with the library's cookbook.

Once you try the recipe and want to make it again, you can either laminate it for safe keeping, or put it in Didn't box. Didn't like the recipe? Toss it!
