Grand Island, Neb. — The oft-maligned lima bean (also known as the butter bean) is taking center stage as the primary ingredient at the February meeting of Grand Island Public Library’s “Cooking the Books.”
When improperly prepared, lima beans are known for their bitter, sulfurous taste. However, when cooked correctly they bring a nutty, mildly sweet flavor to a dish. Challenge your culinary skills (and perhaps conquer a childhood fear), and join us at “Cooking the Books.” The February meeting will take place on Saturday, February 15 at 12 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Grand Island Public Library.
If you are a fan of food, cooking and trying new recipes, you will enjoy “Cooking the Books.” Participants will select a cookbook or other recipe, test it (or a few) and bring one of their creations to share with the group. Members will then discuss their cookbooks, the recipes, the cooking experience and more.
