Cookbook Club!

Back in September 2010, I presented the idea of doing a cookbook club with my (3-4) readers. Each month one person selects a cookbook and one recipe from that book that we all cook during the month. At the end of the month, we come together here and link to our posts reviewing the recipe and discuss it in the comments.

Check out the sidebar of the blog to see what cookbook we're cooking from this month and a link to the recipe.

A little history/background: I've found that I have very few cookbooks that I turn to regularly for recipes. I find it sad that those books are sitting on a shelf collecting dust while possibly filled to the brim with promising and awesome recipes. This club will not only mean trying new recipes, but it will also mean that we might stumble upon an amazing cookbook that breaks the rut and becomes a staple in the kitchen.

About Participating: This club is totally low key with no requirements except that you have fun and be adventurous with cooking. If you miss a month (or three) there will be no intervention, we'll welcome you back when you have time again.

How to write your review: Writing the review is totally up to you, but here are some ideas: how did it taste? how did your family like it? was it an easy to follow recipe? did you find it difficult to make? did you have trouble finding any of the ingredients? did you substitute anything or modify the recipe? did you have any "surprises" while cooking? would you ever make it again? would you be interested in more recipes from this cookbook? did you take a picture?
