Join Chef Art Smith on Zoom to inspire your holiday season as you learn about his culinary journey (which includes two James Beard Foundation awards). According to Smith, "The art of cooking, the act of feeding people, is the most engaging, most memorable way to connect with people."
This is an online event, made possible by Illinois Libraries Present, a statewide collaboration between public libraries, including Lincolnwood Public Library.
