Bibliobites Book Group
Bibliobites is a book group with a culinary focus. We read a combination of cookbooks, culinary memoirs and Foodie fiction. We often pick a theme for a meeting and encourage members to try recipes related to the theme. We do not discourage members from bringing those recipes in for us to try! Bibliobites meetings are open to everyone, and meet the last Friday of the month at 11 am.

Bibliobites in October: True Grit (11/29/2022) - Recipe for a Boston chef: take one chaotic upbringing, add several crazy adrenaline-fueled teenage escapades, a pinch of caution, and a spoonful of insecurity. Stir in heaps of fierce determination and on-the-job learning. Work all ingredients together 24/7 for about eight to ten years, then bake in a hot, hot oven until it all flames … Continue reading Bibliobites in October: True Grit 
Bibliobites in September: Legume Love, Tahini Trysts (10/18/2022) - We’re back! After a summer hiatus, our Bibliobites group met, in person (!), on a sunny September morning.

And we were eager to discuss this month’s title, Dada Eats Love to Cook … Continue reading Bibliobites in September: Legume Love, Tahini Trysts
