Description

"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."
