About The Cook Book Club
Cookbook Club came about when I realised I had a bookcase full of cookbooks that I was not using enough. Some of the books had barely been used if at all. Because I have an addiction to cookbooks and I need to justify future purchases I decided this would be a great way to get through them.I love entertaining and love an excuse to have people over to eat, especially one where I don’t even have to cook all the food!
So each 4 to 6 weeks I choose a cookbook and invite friends to pick a recipe to prepare and bring to our cookbook club meeting where we share each others food and generally just have a good time. It’s lots of fun and I encourage others to try it out with their friends. @DrLing has started one in Sydney and I was able to go to their first one.
As of May 2011 I am now also inviting anyone who cannot attend in person (food bloggers etc) to participate virtually. You can pick a recipe as with everyone else and then prepare the recipe in your own time leading up to the cookbook club date. Then simply create a blog post or tweet or email me about the recipe you cooked and I will link it up on a wrap up post for that month’s club.

Wow, it's like a Jane Austen book club but you're talking sharing about food which is equally interesting! You have some addiction to cook books? Haha. Don't worry, I have some hidden addiction with dictionaries, too! It'll be our little secret.
This sounds so much fun! So it starts this month or is it ongoing?
That's a fantastic idea. Thank you for sharing it. :)
I def want to do this. My bookcase is full of cookbooks and Stud's murder mysteries have been shunned to the spare room lol
What a great idea! Could be dangerous though.. I have a serious cookbook addiciton and I need help! :P
Terrific idea! I have several hundred cookbooks (perhaps more, but I gave up counting ages ago) and think this is a great way to share.
What an awesome idea! I too have a lot of cookbooks that I haven't used. Pretty cool idea! ツ

What a good idea, although as most of my cookbooks are sweet related it would have to be a dessert club.
