August 2023 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This month we cooked from our favorite titles, blogs and online recipe sources.

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 September and October’s cooking options as well as our 2023 year-long options at the bottom of this post.

Starting in July, we will institute #tbt (Throw Back Thursday) posts where you can share a photo of a dish made from any of our previously covered titles. Be sure to tag the post #tbt and include the title of the book and recipe name.

Starting in September, I will put up a thread where members who contributed to the group in that particular month will again post a picture on the thread. These Members will go into a drawing to win a cookbook. I will share details about the cookbook and more the last week in each month.
