Magnolia Table Vol. 3 by Joanna Gaines

Joanna Gaines--cofounder of Magnolia, cook and host of Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines, and New York Times bestselling author--brings us her third cookbook filled with timeless and nostalgic recipes reimagined for today's home cook. The book is beautifully photographed and filled with dishes you will want to bring into your own home, including: Honey Butter Layered Biscuit Bites, Bananas Foster Pancakes, Brussels Sprout Gruyére Gratin, White Chicken Alfredo Lasagna, Garlic Shrimp over Parmesan Risotto, Peanut Butter Pie, and Brownie Cookies.

How it works

  1. Each month, the cookbook-of-the-month will be on display at the library.
  2. Those wishing to participate can browse it, then choose and make a copy of the recipe. (The cookbook is not available to checkout during it's featured month.)
  3. Add your name and selected recipe to the sign up sheet.
  4. On Cookbook Club Day, each person brings their dish to share with the group!
