March 2021 Great Big Cookbook Club Roundup

As our members know, each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. There are other fun cookbook clubs around the interwebs and we’d like to highlight those for those members who might want to cook or bake something other than our choices. 

We want to get this information out to you so you can prepare and we will update this post when we have any missing information. Please note the addition of Skordo’s Cookbook Club near the bottom of this post. Also, if there is a promotion here at EYB or a sale involving the book options, I have included that information as well.
