If you've ever visited Wilmette Public Library, you may or may not already know that we have a COOKBOOK COLLECTION, not just a cookbook collection. It is a well-loved, well-used and healthy-sized (holiday pun?) collection of the best of the best. Here is a collection of some tried and true winter cookbooks (take a bite for every time you read the word cookbook) to get your creative juices flowing, fingers chopping and family and friends indulging.
