Books and Foods

Welcome to a special event series where books, films, and TV shows lead us into the world of food cultures. Each session focuses on works connected to a specific theme, inspiring us to cook and taste together.

The series is free of charge and open to everyone, though it is especially aimed at adults. Places are available for the first 12 attendees. The language of the event is Finnish.

This event series is part of the library’s program and has been created based on customer wishes – come and experience new ways to sense and enjoy literature!
