Cooking club concludes series
The Peters Township Public Library Cooking Club will conclude its “Taste the World” series at 7 p.m. Thursday at the library. The guest chef will be Larry Kozlowski, who will be preparing foods celebrating the eve of St. Nicholas Feast Day with European food, folklore and fun.
Several recipes will be demonstrated, including twisted deep fried pastry strips in several European ethnic traditions (Polish-Chrusciki, Slovak-Ceregi, Lithuanian-Ausuki and Italian- Nodid D’Amore); filled dumplings (Polish-Pierogi, Slovak-Pyrohy and Ukrainian-Varenyky); and the special creation of St. Nicholas Honey Cakes (Polish-Pierniki, Slovak-Medovniky and German-Lebkuchen) formed in hand-carved European cookie molds.
The secrets of these preparations will be discussed, as well as the folklore of these ethnic treats that make them special delicacies during this time of the year. Assorted Polish, Slovak, Italian and Old Country Cookie Recipe Books and handcrafted Nicholas Ornaments will be available at this presentation.
Cost is $5. Registration deadline is Monday. Register by emailing programs@ptlibrary.org, visiting the library circulation desk or calling 724-941-9430.
