May 2023 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This month our selections were:

• Cookbook: Milk Street Noodles: Secrets to the World’s Best Noodles, from Fettuccine Alfredo to Pad Thai to Miso Ramen by Christopher Kimball – Note: As Noodles was released late April and I myself did not get a copy until the middle of May – I am adding Noodles as a second option in July because it is a fantastic book and want to be sure that our Members have a chance to cook from it. There are five EYBD recipes to try as well.
• Baking: Sweet Enough by Alison Roman
• Vegan/Veg: East: 120 Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes from Bangalore to Beijing by Meera Sodha or online recipes by Meera Sodha

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 June and July cooking options as well as our 2023 year-long options 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.
