June 2018 Eat Your Books Cookbook Club Summary and August – October Annoucements
June 22, 2018 by JennyLast month we topped 5,000 members in the Eat Your Books Cookbook Club, come join us. I find myself cooking more recipes from my books than normally because the photos are so inspiring. One of the many great benefits of EYB is our recipe notes (as you will see below in our first entry regarding the Rhubarb cake in the Sweet section. Due to notes from other cooks/bakers, mistakes can be avoided and success is almost guaranteed.
This month we’ve been working through:
Main selection: At My Table by Nigella Lawson
Flashback option: Any recipe from Jacques Pépin‘s books
Online option: Any recipe from Nigella or Jacques online
Baking: Any recipe from Rose Levy Beranbaum books
And, desserts are still being churned out in our second group working through Ottolenghi’s Sweet.
The photos below are just a few of the beautiful shots our members have been sharing; visit each group for more inspiration. Do not forget to also upload your photos and add your notes to your bookshelf at Eat Your Books. Instructions on uploading your photos and links to other helpful articles can be found here.
Our July selections are re-shared at the end of this post and all club posts are tagged #EYBCookbookClub if you are looking for a particular post. And we have polled our members for their input for future selections.
You will note for the next three months, we are offering additional options so that even more members can participate. From August through October, our vegan option will be Vegan 100: Over 100 Incredible Recipes from Avant-Garde Vegan (see our giveaway and review here) or any online vegan recipe. Now, here are the results of the voting:
