Food nourishes not only our bodies, but also our relationships, our culture, and our community. Recipes are passed down through generations. Flavors can take us to places that may be far away or lost to time. Special meals create shared memories. Family and cultural history is often passed down through food traditions.

EVPL invites you to preserve your favorite recipes for future generations of your family, friends, and EVPL library users.
Through June 30, 2027, EVPL will be collecting recipes for The Library Table, a cookbook of Vanderburgh County’s favorite recipes. Submit your recipe below or through a printed form at any EVPL location.
The final cookbook will be available in the EVPL collection or for purchase in October 2027.
With 8 locations throughout Vanderburgh County, EVPL is ready to discover, explore, and connect WITH you! We encourage you to uncover new things, revisit old favorites, and to engage with us along the way.
