    Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies, p. 43 Made a 1/2 batch of these for my book club meeting on Thursday night. I used GF flour mix and they still held their form well and were delicious straight out of the oven. They do have a crumbly texture like a true shortbread, but were not very sweet. I really liked them warm but less once they cooled. I am sure they would be even better with regular flour.

    Zaytoon's Chix Shwarma, p. 277 Easy and delicious. Served with TJs garlic naan and veggies. A perfect week night dinner. Used Chix tenders.

    This book was very sweetly given to me by a CH friend, Lucia Freeman. I have already found a few recipes I want to try! This book will offer more than a few weekday friendly meals. I currently have the chicken shawarma recipe on page 277 marinating!!!

Publishers Text

This first cookbook created specifically for book clubs shows readers how to add a delightfully delicious angle to their book club gatherings.

Featuring recipes and food-related discussion ideas for one hundred popular book club selections, The Book Club Cookbook guides readers in selecting and preparing culinary masterpieces that tie in just right with the literary masterpieces their club is reading. From Honey Cakes to go along with The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd to Eggplant Caponata to go with Bel Canto by Ann Patchett; from Lemony Goat Cheese Tart with Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel to Shrimp Flautas for Empire Falls by Richard Russo; The Book Club Cookbook makes adding foods that stem from the books your club reads fun and easy.

Vicki Levy Krupp and Judy Gelman polled hundreds of book clubs all over the country to determine what their members are reading and to discover the creative ways that they're integrating food into their meetings. With recipes and colorful background information on the role that food plays in the reading choices-much of which was contributed by the authors of the book club selections themselves--The Book Club Cookbook will add some real flavor to your book club meetings.
