Love is in the air…or maybe not. Even if cupid hasn’t struck you with his lucky bow, the library still has plenty of recipes to feed the loneliest of hearts. If you’re looking for a sweet treat for one, mug cakes can easily be mixed up in your favorite Taylor Swift coffee cup and heated to perfection. Need some inspiration? Be sure to check out Mug Cakes : 100 Speedy Treats to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth by Leslie Bilderback or Solo : A Modern Cookbook for a Party of One by Anita Lo, both available in the library’s nonfiction cooking section.
If you find yourself surrounded by suitors you just can’t shake, whip up a gourmet garlic meal pungent enough to even keep Dracula away. Using the library’s digital service Libby, you can instantly check out the digital classic Everything Tastes Better with Garlic by Sara Perry. Don’t forget to add a few extra cloves in that pot, just to be safe!
Even though Valentine’s Day might not be your thing, you don’t have to spend it alone. Instead, gather up some of your best buds and make it a movie night! Using our digital service Hoopla, you can stream the best horror movies for an anti-Valentine’s day get together and, the best part, Hoopla has cookbooks too. Bon Appétit!
