• March 2026 – Try a New Ingredient

  7:15pm-9:00pm

  Hello Cooks! Tired of cooking the same dishes from your stash of tried-and-true recipes? Why not spice things up by adding a new ingredient to your cooking repertoire? This month we ask members to step out of their comfort zones and open their minds (and mouths) to new possibilities. Find something new, cook with it and bring it to share. 

  Here are some tips:

• 1.   Browse the aisles of the grocery store. There are plenty of new-to-you ingredients within arm’s reach. If you look carefully, you will find lots of interesting things you’ve probably not noticed before.
• 2.   Try a new-to-you ethnic market. Step outside of Redding and there is a slew of ethic and organic markets from Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern and more brimming with luscious produce and rich enticing spices. 
• 3.   Dive into a new cookbook. The library is a great source to find cookbooks that you have never used before to find tasty ingredients and yummy recipes.
