Attention Bennington area cooks!  Come spend an evening with famed founder, editor and publisher of Cook's Illustrated, Chris Kimball!   On Friday, March 1st at 7:00 there will be discussion, dessert reception and book signing at the Bennington Museum to benefit the Bennington Free Library.  The cost is $25 per person. Kimball is the host of the PBS syndicated cooking shows "America's Test Kitchen" and "Cook's Country".  He is also a regular contributor to NPR, a columnist for the New York Daily News and  a prolific author.  He says cooking isn't creative and it isn't easy.  Cooking is about putting food on the table night after night, and there isnt anything glamorous about it.   His philosophy is that there is a "single best way to make a dish" that leads to "nearly bulletproof" results. Take this opportunity to support our local library, view the updates at Bennington Museum and glean some cooking know-how from one of America's best known chefs!
