Savor the delicious, earthy scents and tastes of the shire as interpreted by the Davis Food Co-op’s Teaching Kitchen wizards. Sample a hearty fare of mushroom stew paired with crusty bread, the cheeses and pickles found in every hobbit’s larder, and a simple stove top grunt made with the shire’s best apples and honey. Learn how to prepare food fit for a daring magical quest complete with hobbits, dwarves, goblins and dragons. See how it’s done, try samples and take home the recipes.

“The best fantasy fiction builds a richly imagined world that the reader is reluctant to part with once the book ends,” said Yolo County Librarian Patty Wong. “Our ‘Cook the Book’ series with the Davis Food Co-op gives the reader the tools to extend the experience through menus evocative of that particular place and time.”

No reservations are required. Presented by the Yolo County Library, all programs free.
