We have teamed up with Kemps Bookstore in the Market place here in Malton to bring you a Book Club with a difference!

We select a book with a some kind of link to food (sometimes obvious, sometimes less so..!) – you read the book, then come along and discuss it, while also cooking and eating the food that it inspires.

Jo Hardy will lead the book discussions, and Gilly Robinson, owner and Head Tutor of The Cooks Place, will help you create the food – it’s a great way to bring a love of books and cooking together. It’s a wonderful night out for a group of book lovers, but also fun to attend on your own to meet new people and join a group of like-minded souls.

A friendly, welcoming atmosphere awaits – see you there!

All books are available from Kemps either in-store or online.

June’s Book: The Food of Love by Anthony Capella

Laura Patterson is an American exchange student in Rome who decides there’s only one sure-fire way to find a sensual man: date a chef. Then she meets Tomasso, who’s handsome, young — and cooks in the exclusive Templi restaurant. Perfect.

Except, unbeknownst to Laura, Tomasso is in fact only a waiter at Templi — it’s his shy friend Bruno who is the chef. But Tomasso is the one who knows how to get the girls, and when Laura comes to dinner he persuades Bruno to help him with the charade. It works: the meal is a sensual feast, Laura is utterly seduced and Tomasso falls in lust.

But it is Bruno, the real chef who has secretly prepared every dish Laura has eaten, who falls deeply and unrequitedly in love. A delicious tale of Cyrano de Bergerac-style culinary seduction, but with sensual recipes instead of love poems.
