October 2020 Eat Your Books Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This month we’ve been cooking from the following titles:

• Main Selection:  Simple: Effortless Food, Big Flavours by Diana Henry
• Baking Selection: Happiness Is Baking: Favorite Desserts from the Queen of Cake by Maida Heatter
• Online Option:  Great British Chefs – Chef Recipes
• Plant-based Option: Start Simple: Eleven Everyday Ingredients for Countless Weeknight Meals by Lukas Volger or any other Volger title

For past EYB Cookbook Club summaries, #EYBCookbookClub will pull up an archive of our club’s activities. Please note our announcement document shared in the club shares all our options (including those in the past). You will find the options for November through January 2021 at the bottom of this post.

An EYB member recently asked what options were available for those not on Facebook. Please post your photos here on EYB as I always check the book’s member images and try to include those as well. We want everyone to participate.

We have also started a Great Big Cookbook Club Roundup to share what is going on in other clubs. The link above will bring up those posts.
