FREE SAMPLE TASTING!
Join Christine Turnbaugh and Friends as they share their adventures of creating Garden Street Cooks, a cookbook of favorite recipes of the members and friends of Bellingham’s Garden Street United Methodist Church. Learn how your organization might create a similar project, and expand the fundraising possibilities by creating related greeting cards, recipe cards, and note pads. Join us for this informative and tasty event!
Enhanced with original art work by a friend of the church living in Provence, France, Christine Jamet, the Garden Street Cooks contains almost 300 delicious recipes. The art is a key ingredient to the success of this one of a kind cookbook, which is a very personal expression of the sense of community that has developed over the years at Garden Street UMC around cooking and sharing a common meal. Sales of the book will support the Church’s lively missions program, giving funds locally and around the world.
Join Cindi to discuss books from a variety of genres the 1st Monday of each month at 7pm.
