It was such a great idea in theory. Complete menus would have been nice. Or thematic suggestions for decoration. Less talk about book clubs all over the country and more talk about the actual food. My daughter and I had a Harry Potter theme night, and I tried to use the Harry Potter chapter as a starting point, but since I couldn't actually remember Harry eating Treacle Tart at all in the books, and that was practically the only thing mentioned, we gave it up, and found a lot of great recipes online at Mugglenet. I'd try another recipe/meal, with a different novel, but this book just could have been so much more. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Recipes are either submitted by the various book clubs covered in this book, or by the authors themselves (for example, Jhumpa Lahiri provided an recipe for “Mrs. Lahiri’s Hard-Boiled-Egg Curry in Mustard Sauce”). There are also food-related essays written by select authors especially for this cookbook. Recipes range from appetizers to main dishes to drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to desserts.
I enjoyed also the passages in this book about various featured book clubs across the country — what they read and discussed (and the food they’ve shared), and how different they all are. There are all-male book clubs, African-American book clubs, book clubs that focus on only one type of book (i.e. South Asian books).
There is a list of resources in the back of the cookbook for finding certain ingredients (such as Lyle’s Golden Syrup for ANZAC cookies, based on “The Road from Coorain” by Jill Ker Conway). International readers interested in this cookbook will have to figure out metric measurements themselves — there are no charts or equivalents included. Additionally, there are no photographs — not a detriment for me; especially since this cookbook is already good-sized. I’s say most of these recipes are ideal for potlucks, and yes of course book clubs. It’s not an all-purpose “family” or “home-cooking” cookbook. ( )
