Spice up Your Fall
with
Spice Club
Are you a little bored with your own cooking? Want to broaden your repertoire and try some new flavors? Spice up your fall with our Spice Club! Each month you'll get a sample of a different spice and a variety of recipes to try featuring that spice. We'll also include some online resources if you'd like to find your own recipes.
You can share your results (triumphs and epic fails!) with other Maynard cooks on social media (#maynardspiceclub or @maynardpubliclibrary) and/or in a discussion (with shared food).
