Edizione speciale: Novel Food #2

Special Edition: Announcing Novel Food #2

The culinary/literary event Lisa of Champaign Taste and I co-launched three months ago is back for the winter season. We would like to continue on the same path of finding culinary inspiration in literary works. Hence, we are co-hosting the second edition of Novel Food. For the occasion we are unveiling (fanfare, please) a fantastic logo, compliments of graphic wizard Keith (thank you!).

The debut edition was a lot of fun for all involved (hosts, participants and readers), which was, obviously, how we intended it to be. In case you missed it, you can read the two halves of the roundup here and here, which will also give you a sense of what this is all about. In the time of the year when gift-giving is particularly active, past and future entries for this event may be used as suggestions for presents (to be given or to be received) in the form of books or as suggestions for reading (or reading again) books that are already on our bookshelves.

Here are the simple rules for Novel Food:

1. Prepare a dish of your choosing that has a connection to a literary work.
2. Post it on your blog by Friday December 21, 2007, 9 am (Pacific Time).
3. Send an e-mail to either Lisa (webrina AT gmail DOT com) or myself (simosite AT mac DOT com) and include your name, blog name and blog address, and a permanent link to your post.

We will do a roundup soon afterwards: it will be our special Holiday culinary/literary present.

Simona, this is *very* much on my radar screen, but I do have a horde of relatives on my doorstep come December 19 thorough Jan 3. I will try my best to participate, but if I am derailed, please know I will join in the next installment. Love the logo - adorable and very retro.

Ciao Francesca: thank you. I am looking forward to it.

Hi Susan, it looks like those birch mini-tables are going to get used soon. Please, do not add this to your list of worries. As you say, you can always join the nest installment.

You two tempt me! ^_^ And this logo is very very nice!
I try to make it also this time. Last time I did enjoy very much the whole experience...
I'll keep you posted Simona! Kusje ^.^

[Simona]

Of course we want to tempt you and we hope you will participate.

I hope it's okay to use an easy reader--I immediately thought of Frog and Toad for a project. :)

[Simona]

Hello Ruhama. I am glad you are interested in participating in our event and will love to hear about your Frog and Toad project.

[Mary]

I'm excited to try this. I hope I can fit it in to my holiday schedule!
