Traveling Library Collection

Our collection totals over 90 titles ranging from the esteemed Ovens of Brittany Cookbook to Midwest Maize: How Corn Shaped the U.S. Heartland, to Six Spices: A Simple Concept of Indian Cooking. We have copies of the books written by virtually every guest speaker we have had in the last ten years, e.g., Putting Down Roots: Gardening Insights from Wisconsin’s Settlers by Marcia Carmichael, chief gardener at Old World Wisconsin; Wisconsin Supper Clubs by Ron Faiola and Madison Food: A History of Capital Cuisine by Nichole Fromm and J. Rasmus.

You can peruse all the titles in the library in the list below. To place an order for a specific book, email chewwisconsin@gmail.com and you can pick up the book at the next CHEW meeting (see home page for meeting info), if it hasn’t already been checked out.
