X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>On the 4th Monday of each month\, join us 
 as we read our way around the world and gain new insights into a diversity
  of cultures. &nbsp\; </p>\n<p>At Thanksgiving\, we turn our focus to home
 \, family and food\, which fits perfectly with November's book\, Erica Bau
 ermeister's <a href="https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S
 105C787723">The School of Essential Ingredients</a>. The book was a Goodre
 ads Choice Award Nominee for fiction. More about the story:</p>\n<p style=
 "padding-left: 60px\;">Reminiscent of&nbsp\;<em>Chocolat</em>&nbsp\;and&nb
 sp\;<em>Like Water for Chocolate</em>\, this is a gorgeously written novel
  about life\, love\, and the magic of food.</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 6
 0px\;">The School of Essential Ingredients&nbsp\;follows the lives of eigh
 t students who gather in Lillian&rsquo\;s Restaurant every Monday night fo
 r cooking class. It soon becomes clear\, however\, that each one seeks a r
 ecipe for something beyond the kitchen.</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 60px\
 ;">Students include Claire\, a young mother struggling with the demands of
  her family\; Antonia\, an Italian kitchen designer learning to adapt to l
 ife in America\; and Tom\, a widower mourning the loss of his wife to brea
 st cancer. Chef Lillian\, a woman whose connection with food is both soulf
 ul and exacting\, helps them to create dishes whose flavor and techniques 
 expand beyond the restaurant and into the secret corners of her students&r
 squo\; lives.</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 60px\;">One by one the students
  are transformed by the aromas\, flavors\, and textures of Lillian&rsquo\;
 s food\, including a white-on-white cake that prompts wistful reflections 
 on the sweet fragility of love and a peppery heirloom tomato sauce that se
 ems to spark one romance but end another. Brought together by the power of
  food and companionship\, the lives of the characters mingle and intertwin
 e\, united by the revealing nature of what can be created in the kitchen.<
