June 2019 Eat Your Books Cookbook Club Summary

We have an incredible community here at Eat Your Books that has flowed into our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club and Sweet Eat Your Books Cookbook Club, places where we share our successes and fails in cooking and baking from specific cookbook titles.

This month we’ve been cooking from the following titles:

• Main selection: Around my French Table or Red Hot Kitchen
• Online option: Ottolenghi
• Baking option: Sweet by Ottolenghi (our Sweet group)

See the bottom of this post for July through September options.

And, desserts are still being churned out in our second group that is 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.

A few announcements before we share some highlights from this month’s options:

• Be sure to check out our 2019 Cookbook Preview Post!
• Please make sure you have entered all our giveaways.
• Our EYBD Page has been updated with additional titles for 2019!

Now to this month’s highlights:

I made a few dishes from Red Hot Kitchen– mostly sauces and marinades so no photos. I plan on making a noodle dish this week and will share a photo when I do. Member Lisa S. has filled the group with dozens of gorgeous photos from Around the French Table just like the first picture below.
