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,

The Great Culinary Companion to Book Clubs

Have you ever wondered how to serve a suitable meal for a book discussion at your local book club? Whether you can serve a meal which is thematically related to the book being discussed? If the answers to both are yes, then the perfect solution is acquiring a copy of Judy Gelman's and Vicki Levy Krupp's "The Book Club Cook Book". The authors contacted members from over one hundred book clubs within the United States, soliciting comments not only the books themselves, but also on the meals served at these discussions (For the record, I am an outgoing coordinator of a book club, and am quoted in several entries.). Each book listed is accompanied by a brief summary, including comments from book club members, and a recipe for an appropriate dish (For example, for Frank McCourt's "Angela's Ashes", is a recipe for Irish Soda Bread.). There is also an in-depth profile of a book club. So if you are wondering what to serve for a discussion of Yann Martel's novel "Life of Pi", then a suitable dish might be the Tandoori Shrimp featured for this entry. This is a fun, highly informative book which will interest long-time book club members and those who are just joining. To their credit, the authors also provide some excellent tips on how to organize your own book club. Without question, "The Book Club Cook Book" may become the essential reference guide to serving meals at book club meetings.

What a great book!!!

It is a great book and it really helped me and my book club find appropriate foods for our monthly meetings. I love your book!!! ---A Loyal Fan

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! The authors have obviously done their homework and the result is a very exciting compilation of recipes based on meals served in some great books, everything from To Kill a Mockingbird to the Da Vinci Code. Book clubs will have a blast with this one!
