Books and Cooks with Jennie Thomas

On Tuesday, May 1 at 12:00 p.m., Chef Bud, with his wife Jennie in control, will be preparing this common but difficult dish in Mexico’s culinary repertoire.  With chili peppers serving as the essential ingredient, Molé is a dark brown sauce served over meat that combines ingredients from the native Nahuatl culture and the European palette.  For this reason, Molé symbolizes Mexico’s mixed indigenous and European heritage and tradition. 

For those interested in tradition, this will also be the 36^th episode of Books and Cooks, marking the third year of this popular program at the Wilkinson Public Library.  With many people enjoying the off-season, the library will be celebrating this anniversary at the next program on Tuesday, June 5.  In the meantime, community members sitting in a slightly warmer climate can tune into Books and Cooks as it airs live on www.telluridelibrary.org/wpltv.
