Spice Club

Join fellow home cooks and culinary enthusiasts for a monthly discussion of different spices and cuisines! Each month, we'll be discussing a featured spice, including its history, cultural significance, and common uses. At each meeting, you'll have a chance to pick up a sample of the next month's spice, including a selection of recipes to try it in. Attendees are welcome to use the spice at home however they choose to over the next month and come back to discuss how it went, what recipes they tried, and learn what other attendees did.

Our featured spices for fall 2025 include:

October 15: Cardamom
November 12: Nutmeg
December 10: Ginger

Spice kits for the October 15 meeting will be available for pick-up at the library's circulation desk beginning on September 15. After that, spice kits for the next month will be distributed at each meeting, with leftover kits being made available at the circulation desk the following day. Kits are available on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last. Anyone is welcome to attend the monthly discussions even if they didn't pick up that month's spice kit. The kits will feature 2-4 recipes that utilize the month's spice, and enough sample of the featured spice to make 2 of the recipes.

This program is sponsored by Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities and Madison Community Foundation.
