What You Will Learn

In conjunction with Calvert County Public Library, our book club - Literary Bites - is now in session!

Calling all book lovers and foodies! In this unique event, we’ll take you on a flavorful journey through the pages of some of your favorite literary works. This event is inspired by iconic books and their food-filled stories.

Whether you're passionate about literature, love to cook, or just enjoy a good story paired with great food, Literary Bites offers a delicious way to experience the best of both worlds.

Join us for an evening of food, fiction, and fun as we bring beloved books to the table—one bite at a time! 

This month we will discuss Change the Recipe by José Andrés. For those of you who can't join us in person, there are five virtual tickets available by using this link. 

 

About the Book 

Change the Recipe is a collection of reflections, stories, and life lessons from renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés. Rather than a traditional cookbook, the book blends memoir, philosophy, and social commentary to explore how food can transform communities and inspire meaningful change.

Drawing on his experiences as a chef, immigrant, entrepreneur, and founder of World Central Kitchen, Andrés shares personal anecdotes—from his childhood in Spain to building restaurants in the United States and responding to disasters around the world. Through these stories, he illustrates how cooking is not just about nourishment or flavor, but about compassion, creativity, and responsibility.
