Welcome to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library
Recipe "Assistants"Welcome to TSCPL's Recipe Request page. This page is designed to help you find the perfect recipe to fit your needs. Have you always wanted to make something for a special occasion? Trying to duplicate a recipe that your grandmother used to make? Want something new to serve to your kids? Give us a try. We are two librarians with a passion for cooking and reading and collecting recipes and cookbooks. We're not expert chefs, just two women who love to try new recipes. We may not be able to come up with the exact recipe you need, but we'll give it a try. We hope to be your recipe "assistants".
