Edible Books: A book club for food lovers
Edible Books is a book club without borders. Members can participate from anywhere in the world, any time of the day or night. Every month we all choose a book to read. The following month we read it. The discussion takes place primarily on聽聽although participation on the blog and through our聽聽is welcomed.聽 Regular updates will be posted here, including the book selections.
Your hosts, Natalie and Christina, are food lovers as well as book lovers, so we鈥檙e encouraging books with a food theme running through them. 聽Occasionally, however, there may be a surprise selection. 聽It all depends on what book you, the book club members, vote for each month.
November's pick: "White Truffles in Winter" by N.M. Kelby
We are thrilled to announce that the author,聽, has graciously agreed let us interview her this month (stay tuned to the blog!) and to participate in our Twitter discussion.聽 So the conversation promises to be even more exciting this month!
"White Truffles in Winter" is a novel about world-famous French chef Auguste Escoffier.聽 Called the "king of chefs and chef of kings," Escoffier was also a restaurateur, author, a leader in the development of modern French cuisine, and credited with introducing the organized聽brigade de cuisine聽system in his kitchens.
But this novel goes beyond Escoffier鈥檚 well-known public persona, to invite us into an imaginative story of his private world, filled with glamour, romance, war, and of course food.
Get ready to travel back in time to the turn of the 20th聽century 鈥� and bring a snack, because reading this book will make you hungry!
