This week at Eat Your Books

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written articles that include a piece on getting the most out of your mortar and pestle, starting the new year off sans meat, praising the unitasker, India’s ‘Pickle Queen’, and cave cooking. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday (#foodnews brings up these information-packed posts).

Our post on looking forward to 2020 cookbooks provides an outline of what the new year has in store for us cookbook lovers. Throughout the year, this post will be frequently updated with new additions, edits to titles and publication dates and more! This week our calendar has been updated with upcoming author events and classes. Our February through April options have been voted upon by our members for the Eat Your Books Cookbook Club.
