Silicon Valley Reads is an annual tradition in Santa Clara County. It brings people together through shared reading and experiences. This past year our Silicon Valley Reads 2026 had the theme, Bridges to Belonging. The goal was to bring residents across Santa Clara County together.
Food is a powerful way to build community. We invited Santa Clara County residents to contribute to a collaborative cookbook. We collected beautiful memories of family and delicious meals shared with loved ones. It captured the diverse flavors of our region. This book is a true celebration of life in Santa Clara County.
If you are looking for a delicious new recipe to try, check out the Santa Clara County Community Cookbook! In it you can find recipes for Creamed Purslanes, Vietnamese Stir Fry Clams, and Mouse de Limón, to name a few.
Thank you to all our county residents who submitted their recipes to share our community!
