August 2021 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This month we have been cooking from:

• Main option: Ripe Figs: Recipes and Stories from Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus by Yasmin Khan
• Baking option: Nadiya Bakes by Nadiya Hussain
• Online option: Jamie Oliver Online Recipes or Yasmin Khan Online Recipes
• Veg option: Veg: Easy & Delicious Meals for Everyone by Jamie Oliver

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 our 2021 year-long options and September through December titles can be found at the bottom of this post. As this is a very busy time, we have picked popular books to finish off the year. We will poll again in early December for 2022 cookbook choices.

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.
