December 2019 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

We have a helpful 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.

This month we’ve been cooking from the following titles:

• Main Selection: Milk Street – The New Rules or The Way to Cook by Julia Child
• Online option: Milk Street
• Baking: The Last Course by Claudia Fleming and share any of your holiday baking 

For past EYB Cookbook Club summaries, #EYBCookbookClub will pull up an archive of our club’s activities.

This month’s summary is a bit early due to the holidays in order to make the newsletter. There are many other photographs in the group and I’m sure more to come!

Look for a poll in the group shortly before January 1st for voting options for February through May 2020.
