CHEW: "Bring a Dish to Pass," June 4th @ 7:15 PM

June 4, 2008: Toni Brandeis Streckert, author of Potluck! Home Cooking from Wisconsin's Community Cookbooks will be CHEW's June speaker.

"Bring a dish to pass!" It's more than an invitation to the simple, delicious recipes Grandma used to make. It's a window into culture, tradition, and community. This book is a selection of family favorites drawn from church and service group cookbooks throughout the Badger state. Discover great down-home recipes and how they bring families, friends, and neighbors together. In addition to sharing her experience putting the book together, Toni hopes to persuade one or more of the recipe contributors to join us for the meeting.

Toni Brandeis Streckert is a part time librarian and writer living in Madison, Wisconin, where she enjoys the bounties of its first rate farmers' markets with her family. For a December 5, 2007 Wisconsin State Journal article on Toni & her book:
