Feeling hungry? We recently received a bumper crop of cookbooks to help you find new and interesting recipes for yourself and your family.
Why not stop by and check out a book, CD, movie, or other material that you find interesting—including a cookbook or two. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Milk Street Noodles
Nearly every culture serves some sort of noodle, from fettuccine, ramen, and spaetzle, to lo mein, gnocchi, and udon. The Milk Street team traveled the world to learn the secrets to the best pad Thai, Italian ragu, spicy North African couscous, and buttery Turkish noodles flecked with feta.
- In Italy, they were taught the real fettuccine Alfredo—so much lighter, simpler and more satisfying.
- In Sapporo, Japan, they learned how to develop the deep umami flavors of miso ramen with minimal time and effort.
- And from Ho Chi Minh City to Lima, they learned the art of the quick noodle stir-fry, from Vietnamese shrimp noodles to Peruvian chicken and pasta

They include guides to using the noodles you have on hand and show how to make classic noodles from scratch—from homemade udon and hand-cut wheat noodles to fresh egg pasta, orecchiette, and potato gnocchi.
