March 2026 Great Big Cookbook Club Summary
February 11, 2026 by JennyAs our members know, each month we offer several cooking options in our Eat Your Books Cookbook Club. There are other fun cookbook clubs around world and we’d like to highlight those for those members who might want to cook or bake something other than our choices.
I will update this post as clubs make their additional choices. Something that has been occurring this year – many clubs are extending the time they work on a book and more – in an attempt (I believe) to lessen the administrators work load and perhaps to get more participation.
I have now sorted clubs geographically and am including bookstores that have cookbook clubs. If you have updates or information about any cookbook clubs, please message me jenny at eatyourbooks dot com with those details. Please note the Cook the World Book Club and Global Cookbook Club (Discord) added below.
