Sara's Weeknight Meals

Cooks and Books

Season 8 Episode 807 | 26m 45s

There are cooking clubs and there are book clubs, and this one is both. Every month this Napa, California club picks a cookbook from which to sample recipes at a potluck dinner at a member’s house. Sara joins to make two versions – chicken and prunes and shrimp tikka with mango chutney. She also visits a unique men-only cooking club – the Barbecue Pit Boys.
