PS Book Club: The Kitchen Front

Loading Events

Join the PS! Book Club on October 17th at 7:00 pm, to discuss the historical novel “The Kitchen Front” by Jennifer Ryan. In World War II Britain, a new BBC radio program called “The Kitchen Front” is searching for a female co-host using a unique cooking contest. Four contestants, a young widow, a kitchen maid, a lady of the manor, and a trained chef must create recipes using only their ration allotments.  

Each woman thinks that winning will change their lives. But with so much at stake, will the contest bring the community together or break it apart? 

Be sure to register for the new Zoom link and send us your suggestions for next year’s book list! 

Please note that we have changed October’s selection to the historical novel “The Kitchen Front” by Jennifer Ryan.
Be sure to register for this session to get the new Zoom link.
