It’s time to don your dirndl or lederhosen and celebrate Oktoberfest with GNN! Our Gourmet Club is gathering on September 20th for a German‑themed potluck.

• Modern German Cookbook by Michelin‑starred chef Frank Rosin – 100 recipes that put a modern twist on classic German favorites, from asparagus soup, schnitzel and baked apples to the Rosin family’s own sauerbraten dk.com. Rosin shares professional techniques and culinary secrets to elevate any dish dk.com. (Also at Greenwich Library)

• Cooking the German Way (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks) – this book introduces Germany’s history, land and food and includes recipes for potato dumplings, noodle salad and Black Forest torte Amazon Books. (Also at Greenwich Library)

German beer and wine will be flowing, and you’re welcome to bring your own beverage if you have a particular German spirit you’d like to share. Our Gourmet Club’s mission is to foster a love of food and cooking, provide opportunities for culinary exploration, and build community—so let’s make this Oktoberfest a feast to remember!
