DCCC Picks
The following is a list of all the books DCCC members picked during the club’s three-year run in Vermont. Reviews of all of these books are posted on this site (as well as delicious recipes from the books).
2013
The Korean Table: From Barbecue to Bibimbap by Taekyung Chung and Debra Samuels (Suggested by DCCC member Bhakti Ziek)
Summer review: During the summer we did a review of all previous DCCC picks.
At that point, our club had been at it for nearly three years, and as a result we had more than a dozen new books on our shelves plus leftover pantry and freezer ingredients from each to boot. A review helped us use up leftover spices, sauces, dried legumes, whatever. But it also enabled us to pick and choose recipes from all the books based on what was in season. (In Vermont, the growing season is particularly short, and so it seems a shame not to be to utilize everything as it comes available.)
