Book and Recipe Pairings
Introduction
Table of Contents grew out of our ongoing infatuation with books and
literature. As ravenous readers with a passion for great literature and
delicious food, we are fortunate to have spent much of the last decade
immersed in recipes inspired by the pages of our favorite books. Give us
a slice of Sue Monk Kidd's honey cake while reading The Secret Life of
Bees, and we're happy campers. A mojito with Gabriel García Márquez's
Love in the Time of Cholera — sublime.
Through our early research into book clubs and our website,
BookClubCookbook.com, we have confirmed what we had long
suspected: we're not the only ones who feel this way. Readers in general
are enthralled by food, and many have a strong appetite for recipes
connected to the literature they read. Book lovers enjoy being transported
to exotic locations and exposed to new cultures in their reading —
sampling unfamiliar foods is part of the journey. Some book clubs
recreate entire menus to reflect a reading selection, conceive unusual
dinner themes based on a book, or research a passing reference made
to a dish to serve at their meetings. Countless book club members have
shared with us the joy of using food to enhance and enliven their
meetings. As one visitor to our website recently wrote, “our greatest
pleasures in life include both good books and good food!”
In 2002, we teamed up to create a food and literature resource for book
clubs. The Book Club Cookbook (Tarcher/Penguin, 2004) matched 100
top book club reading selections with recipes drawn from or inspired by
those books. This was followed by a guide for youth book groups, The
Kids' Book Club Book (Tarcher/Penguin, 2007), which included recipes
and activities designed to enhance the reading experience for children
and young adults. Our two websites, BookClubCookbook.com and
KidsBookClubBook.com, offer recipes and resources for lovers of food
and literature. They allow us to stay connected with book clubs and avid
readers, offer current resources to book clubs, and help bring authors
and readers together. BookClubCookbook.com has become a destination
