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.

Stay Informed!

• Bibliobites in April: One Pot, One Pan, One Book (5/17/2023) - Sustainability: it’s a word and an idea that’s on everyone’s radar.  But it’s such an all-encompassing concept that often it’s hard to figure out how we can and should apply it to different aspects of our lives.

• Bibliobites in March: Showtime! (4/20/2023) - It’s an embarrassment of visual riches when it comes to cooking.  In addition to cookbooks with stunning, eat-off-the page photography, we have access to an almost limitless number of cooking shows, cooking competitions, and how-to cooking videos.

• Bibliobites in February: Just. Really. Good.

• Bibliobites in January: Going with the Grain (2/15/2023) - This January was a grainy month.  To start with, the weather was unusually, depressingly, gray and rainy; and with a little funky math, gray + rainy = grainy!  More to the point, our Bibliobites group tackled Grains For Every Season by author and restauranteur Joshua McFadden.  The author’s first book, Six Seasons: A New Way … Continue reading Bibliobites in January: Going with the Grain →
• Bibliobites in November/December: Another Dorie Story (1/6/2023) - Author Dorie Greenspan is a one-woman cookbook industry.  Over the past thirty years she’s written fourteen cookbooks, won five James Beard Awards for them (and was nominated eleven times!), and endeared herself to countless readers who adore her warm, friendly personality as much as her warm, buttery baked goods.  Our group has been in Dorie … Continue reading Bibliobites in November/December: Another Dorie Story →
• 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 →
