The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
While many of us dip into our cookbooks only when we need a recipe, other devour them like the latest bestseller.
For those who might wish to combine recipes with reference, there is the Book Club Cookbook – a collection of time-tested tasty treats inspired by great works of literature.
Each entry begins with an introduction to the accompanying author and the roots of the recipe. So whether you want to learn more about Edith Wharton while sipping Age of Innocence-inspired Roman punch or nibble on some Irish bread while sifting through Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashesor dig into swordfish kabobs while wrestling with Sebastian Junger’s The Perfect Storm, this book has everything you need, including novel thoughts that have been contributted by established book clubs throughout the literary and culinary world.
In addition to offering great recipes, the Book Club Cookbook can be a great addition to any book club as it will surely inspire members to bring foods that relate to the text under consideration (or at least to go along with the wine that everyone brings, even if the book is never discussed). Conversely, your club’s next reading list choice may be inspired by a meal prepared with help of this titular tome! In either case, there is sure to be plenty of favorite reads to discuss and even more ideas and meals to chew on.
