Find out how to make flaky pastry crust or how to cook the best turkey at the Elsie Quirk Library.

This week many of us are planning to cook for our families. If you’re looking for some inspiration or a new recipe, check out Gale’s Culinary Arts Collection, the Sarasota County Libraries’ Database of the Month. You can access this electronic resource from the library or from home. It includes 150 of the major cooking and nutrition magazines and thousands of searchable recipes and restaurant reviews. To access this resource, go to www.sclibs.net and click on the database of the month box on the main page. If you access it from home, just have your library card number handy.
