Eat Your Books Cookbook Club April – July Selections

Last September we announced the formation of the Eat Your Books Cookbook Club on Facebook and shortly thereafter the Eat Your Books Sweet Ottolenghi Cookbook Club. The latter is of course to bake our way through Ottolenghi and Helen Goh’s Sweet and the former to cook through certain titles as a community. We continue to grow and welcome all to join us. In these clubs you will find like minded cooks and bakers who are supportive of each others flops and successes. We are all inclusive as we provide options to cook through older titles and online recipes to choose from. I know I’ve made a dish because a member’s photo and notes were so convincing that I had to scrap my menu and make that particular dish.

The EYBCC group concentrates on the titles and recipes selected previously by our members. For general cookbook questions you can check out the forum and The Cookbook Junkies. Don’t forget to tag your photos on social media with #EYBCC, follow us on Instagram, and upload those photos and notes on the recipe to your bookshelf here at EYB. (learn more here) where they are permanently stored (after so many posts and photos these are deleted from the clubs by Facebook).

For ease in locating EYB Cookbook Club articles, I have tagged all posts with #EYBcookbookclub and include a link if you wish to Bookmark that search. If you are new to the group, this post may be able to help you navigate the clubs.

A new announcement – our year long book for 2018 is Naomi Pomeroy’s Taste & Technique. Previously, this book was covered in a separate club. Accordingly, if you cook anything from Naomi’s book – share those photos in the club.
