Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South by Vivian Howard is as much a storybook as it is a cookbook, imparting the true tale of Southern food. For our first Cookbook Club, everyone will choose a recipe from Deep Run Roots to prepare at home and then gather in the library to share. Cookbooks will be available for check out at the Old Fort Branch Library. Register for the program and be sure to let us know what you’ll be bringing!
