Reviews

"The Book Club Cookbook excels at offering book groups new title ideas and a culinary way to spice up their discussions." --Library Journal

"If you're in a book club, you'll savor the stories of the many culturally and ethnically diverse book groups the authors interviewed as much as the recipes." --USAToday

Part cookbook, part celebration of the written word, [The Book Club Cookbook] illustrates how books and ideas can bring people together. Publishers Weekly
