SPICE IT UP!

Welcome to the MCL “Spice of the Month Club”– a monthly “take-and-make” kit featuring a variety of unique spices, herbs, or blends.

Included in each monthly kit will be:

  • Information about the featured spice, its history, and a few fun facts.
  • Two simple recipe suggestions.
  • A premeasured packet of the featured spice with enough for two recipes.

Once you have created your culinary masterpiece at home, we’d love you to share photos of your successes (and fails), opinions, tips, and love (or not) of the spice of the month on the Library’s Facebook page using: @MukwonagoLibrary.

You can always email your pictures and thoughts to us at too.

Spice of the Month kits are free, but supplies are limited. Please, only one kit per household.

The Spice of the Month Club is generously sponsored and supported by the Friends of Mukwonago Community Library.
