Tales You Can Taste is a book club for foodies. Books discussed either have a food theme or feature a different culture with a unique cusine of its own. It is held once a month at Martin's Supermarket in Stevensville on the upper floor of its Side Door Deli Cafe. Book are available first at the previous month meeting, then at the library's front desk the next day.

At 7:15 p.m., if you would like to take your experience with the book one step further, Martin's offers an optional companion food demonstration/meal for a $20 fee. The food and recipes are inspired by that month's book selection. Those interested in attending it should contact Martin's to register.   

This month's selection is The Kitchen Counter Cooking school by Kathleen Flinn.

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, writer Kathleen Flinn returned with no idea what to do next, until one day at a supermarket she watched a woman loading her cart with ultraprocessed foods. Flinn's "chefternal" instinct kicked in: she persuaded the stranger to reload with fresh foods, offering her simple recipes for healthy, easy meals. The Kitchen Counter Cooking School includes practical, healthy tips that boost readers' culinary self-confidence, and strategies to get the most from their grocery dollar, and simple recipes that get readers cooking.
