It's finally here!
The ESSS Potluck Favorites Cookbook is now available in a downloadable pdf format.
The cookbook is a collection of recipes that our members bring to our birthday and holiday potlucks. We decided to compile this coookbook so that we can enjoy the foods we have always loved at our potlucks while we are unable to enjoy our potlucks together.
The Cookbook is available to all of our members even if you were unable to contribute to it.
Click here to get the cookbook (at the same link, you can find information about contributing to a future edition of the cookbook)
