February 2020 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: The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution by Alice Waters
• Online Option: Any Dorie Greenspan online recipe or any Alice Waters online recipe
• Baking: Baking with Julia: Savor the Joys of Baking with America’s Best Bakers by Julia Child and Dorie Greenspan

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). You will find the options for March and April at the bottom of this post, as well.
