September 2018 Eat Your Books Cookbook Club Summary & Future Selections
September 24, 2018 by JennyWe have an incredible community here at Eat Your Books that has flowed into our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club and Sweet Eat Your Books Cookbook Club, places where we share our successes and fails in cooking and baking from specific cookbook titles. Here on the site our recipe notes feature – completed by members and our indexers – help share issues and tips. Checking the notes section on a recipe for any errata that may have been reported by the publisher or discovered by a member is always a wise idea.
This month we have been working through:
- Main selections: How to Eat a Peach or Secrets of the Southern Table
- Alternative: Anything from Alton Brown’s books or Onions Etc. (this book is spectacular, see my review)
- Online: Any Alton Brown recipe or Diana Henry recipe
- Baking: Bake for Syria
And, desserts are still being churned out in our second group that is working through Ottolenghi’s Sweet.
The photos below are just a few of the beautiful shots our members have been sharing; visit each group for more inspiration. Do not forget to also upload your photos and add your notes to your bookshelf at Eat Your Books. Instructions on uploading your photos and links to other helpful articles can be found here.
On that note, Eat Your Books has been sharing your photos on our Instagram feed. If you would like to be tagged in your lovely photos, update your bio here at EYB to include your social media handles. You can edit your bio on your Profile page, accessed from the menu under your username at top right. When we choose photos, we can then check your bio for your Instagram handle.
Other members have expressed an interest in following the members that make such beautiful food! Also, if you would like your EYB username shown when we post your photos in this monthly roundup, please add your username to your Facebook posts.
A few announcements before we share some highlights from this month’s options:
Please make sure you have entered all our giveaways. We have a few up right now that combine a piece of cookware or a Boos cutting board. This Fall we’ll have promotions that will offer a Mauviel roaster, Leuke products for pastry and chocolate work, Emile Henry stoneware as well as a set of Shun knives and I’m working on even more!
Every week new and books are being added. Find out more here. For more information on EYBDigital see our updated post for more information.
Every Sunday, I compile a post of Kindle cookbook deals so be sure to check those for bargains!
