Spice of the Month

Get cooking with the Library! We’ll explore new spices, new cuisines, and new cultures. Every month, pick up a kit that includes:

• A sample of a featured spice
• Background about the spice’s origins
• Recipes from our cookbook collection

New kits will be released the first Monday of the month. First come, first served! No reservations required.

Once you’ve tried out a new recipe using the spice, you can share it with the whole community using the hashtag #CrotonSpiceClub. Or email it to gwen@crotonfreelibrary.org and we might share it on our social media!
