EYB Cookbook Club January 2020 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:  Nothing Fancy  by Alison Roman and share any repeats from 2019 that you loved 
• Online Option: Any online recipe from EYB 
• Baking: Any online baking recipe from EYB

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).

There are many other photographs in the group! This was a very busy month and so many great dishes made by our members.
