Book Overview

"Part cookbook, part celebration of the written word, The Book Club Cookbook ] illustrates how books and ideas can bring people together." -- Publishers Weekly "We are what we eat, they say. We can eat what we read, too. The Book Club Cookbook by Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp (Tarcher/Penguin, $21.95), first published in 2004 and now newly updated and revised, offers up dozens of new recipes inspired by book clubs' favorite books, their characters and authors." -- USA Today "It's pretty much a no-brainer why we love something like The Book Club Cookbook - it combines two of our all-time favorite things: food and books. Even better - the recipes in the book let us get a fuller experience of our favorite novels by thinking up recipes either inspired by the story or literally contributed by the author as essential to the book." -- Flavorwire "The Book Club Cookbook excels at offering book groups new title ideas and a culinary way to spice up their discussions." -- Library Journal Whether it's Roman Punch for The Age of Innocence , or Sabzi Challow (spinach and rice) with Lamb for The Kite Runner , or Swedish Meatballs and Gl gg for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , nothing spices up a book club meeting like great eats. Featuring recipes and discussion ideas from bestselling authors and book clubs across the country, this fully revised and updated edition of the classic book guides readers in selecting and preparing culinary masterpieces that blend perfectly with the literary masterpieces their club is reading.

Great gift book for Book club members

This book gives you some great suggestions for book clubs. I bought two copies to give as gifts...something I never do. Haven't tried the recipes--I just loved hearing how other bookclubs from all over the U.S. handle their meetings, their menus and their choice of books. Very readable,

If great books make you hungry.......

What a great concept and even better execution! Bringing together cuisine and literature is not necessarily a new idea but the way Gelman and Krupp have put together this exciting collection of literary recipes is superb!
