the bookclub cookbook challenge

This is the book that started the idea for this blog, a whole book dedicated to book recommendations and recipes inspired by them. It also has a awesome website with more book recommendation and recipe ideas that I thoroughly recommend. My only problem is that it recommends the DaVinci code but hell I may cook the recipe anyway as it does sound tasty. Here's the books in the list and the recipes.
