September 2024 EYB Cookbook Club Summary

Each month we previously offered at least four cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. This summer we cooked our favorite recipe from any cookbook, magazine, blog or online option and had a huge increase in participation.

We decided to do a poll in the group asking if Members wished to continue with the “anything goes” posting or choose specific titles. The majority of members asked to keep “anything goes” but also choose a new book to cook from – to give Members a chance to discover a new title.

Accordingly, in October, we will start cooking from a new title but continue to allow Members to post from their favorite books etc. We hope that sharing our favorite recipes will help our Members discover new cookbooks and recipes to try.

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 October through December’s cooking options as well as our 2024 year-long options at the bottom of this post.
