In August, the Cookbook Club is exploring Trejo’s Tacos: Recipes & Stories from L.A. by Danny Trejo.
Long before he was a Hollywood star, Danny Trejo used to joke with his mom that they should open a restaurant. A few arrests, a couple boxing championships, and more than 300 movies later, Hollywood’s favorite bad guy did just that with Trejo’s Tacos. His unexpected journey from ex-con to actor to Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous counselor to successful restaurateur is a true rags-to-riches story.
Now, in Trejo’s Tacos, Trejo not only shares 75 recipes for cantina favorites like succulent carnitas, vegan cauliflower tacos, and pillowy-sweet cinnamon-sugar lowrider donuts, but offers insights into his life and pays respect to his hometown, his roots, and all of the colorful characters who helped him along the way, creating a delicious tribute to L.A. and the city’s vibrant Latino culture.
Meet us in the Founder’s Room Monday, August 25 from 12:00 to 1:30 P.M. for an afternoon of delicious food, lively conversation, and shared inspiration.
Attendees of Cookbook Club will each choose a recipe from the selected cookbook, prepare that recipe, and bring it to the meeting at the listed date and time. The book will be held at the reference desk in the library for attendees to look through and select a recipe. A physical copy of their chosen recipe can be made at no cost for the patron to take home. Attendees must be registered and must disclose any food-related allergies or dietary restrictions. This event is for adults 18+.
Must be registered, please call or visit the reference desk at (843) 413-7074.
