They aren’t just any old cookbook…. these cookbooks are filled with recipes FROM books. Was that confusing? Ok… say you are discussing “The Help” … wouldn’t it be fun to serve that Caramel Cake (no, we won’t serve the chocolate pie…), what if you are readingThe Secret Life of Bees? I’ll bet a Honey Cake would be excellent.
Whether it is sweet, savory, a dessert, an appetizer or a meal… these Book Club Cookbooks will have just the right recipe to go along with the books you are discussing. They also have suggested reading lists, discussion questions, and Book Club ideas to get you started with your own book club.
Seriously, a good book, and good food? What a fabulous combination.
What is A Book Club?
A Book Club is where people come together and discuss a book that was assigned for the month. Everyone gets a chance to say something and express an opinion. You won’t always like the books, but sometimes you will find something new to surprise you.
And there is food.
Books and Food …. the ULTIMATE combination!
