January 2025 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we previously offered at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This summer we cooked our favorite recipe from any cookbook, magazine, blog or online option and had a huge increase in participation and after a poll in the group we have decided to allow posting from all cookbooks and to offer one featured cookbook.

This month’s book is by Sift: The Elements of Great Baking by Nicola Lamb.

We hope that sharing our favorite recipes will help our Members discover new cookbooks and recipes to try.

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 February and March 2025 cooking options at the bottom of this post.
