Dear Colleagues,

After this long and hectic year it’s finally time to take a break, relax, have some fun and reconnect with your co-workers and friends at UC Libraries. This cookbook is a great place to start. Cook for yourself, your family or your friends using everyone’s favorite recipes collected here. This winter will be like no other, so it’s important we find ways to treat ourselves, and what better way than to enjoy the culinary talents of our colleagues? I look forward to the day we return to normalcy and can see everyone showcase their improved cooking skills. Have a wonderful winter break and bon appétit!
