October Spice Club: Cinnamon

Do you love to cook and want to try new flavors and recipes? Stop by the library and pick up this month’s Spice Club Kit, available on Tuesday, October 11.

In October, we are cooking with cinnamon as we continue exploring the spices often found in the blend of Garam Masala. (Spoiler Alert: we add a little extra of each monthly spice for you to save and make your own Garam Masala for December’s recipes). 

Cinnamon is a Fall signature spice.  We love to use it with our favorite fall ingredients, such as apples and pumpkins, and cinnamon adds a cozy warm flavor to our baking!

This month’s spice kit contains a sample of cinnamon, recipes, a brief history, and links to our library databases featuring recipes that use the spice. 

Registration is not required, but supplies are limited. The spice kits will be available on the 2nd Tuesday this month, at the Main Circulation Desk, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Unavailable to make it into the library to pick up a kit? We have all the recipes for this and previous spices available on our Spice Club Blog at https://gplibraryma.wordpress.com/
