Plan a few meals around passages from your or their favorite books with help from The Book Lover's Cookbook.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer “Two Utah bookaphiles concoct a savory cookbook … This is a most appealing volume for those legions of book group members who may well enliven some future gatherings with the peach pie inspired by Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer “A culinary delight.” —The Arlington Advocate “This literary feast links nearly two hundred recipes with the books in which the dishes appeared.
