October 2021 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we offer at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This month we have been cooking from:

• Main option: To Asia, With Love: Everyday Asian Recipes and Stories from the Heart by Hetty McKinnon or Flavors of the Sun: The Sahadi’s Guide to Understanding, Buying, and Using Middle Eastern Ingredients by Christine Sahadi Whelan
• Baking option: Sheet Cake: Easy One-Pan Recipes for Every Day and Every Occasion by Abigail Dodge or Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery + Cafe by Joanne Chang
• Online option: Any Hetty McKinnon online recipe; any Heidi Swanson online recipe; any Joanne Chang online recipe
• Veg option: Super Natural Simple by Heidi Swanson or The Weekday Vegetarians: 100 Recipes and a Real-Life Plan for Eating Less Meat by Jenny Rosenstrach – we can also continue to cook from these options in November as well.

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 our 2021 year-long options and November & December titles can be found at the bottom of this post. Please note the delay on publication of Milk Street Vegetables in November – so we’ll cover that one as well in December.

2022: Starting in January, we are going to do things a bit different. EYB will choose one newer title and one classic title to cook from each month. We will have a baking title that we will cover for two months. Online recipes for the featured authors are also okay to share. Our 2022 year long options are shared at the bottom of this post as well as January and February options.

An EYB member recently asked what options were available for those not on Facebook. Please post your photos here on EYB as I always check the book’s member images and try to include those as well. We want everyone to participate.

We have also started a Great Big Cookbook Club Roundup to share what is going on in other clubs. The link above will bring up those posts.
