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.

But then she meets Jules, an octogenarian art collector with very different ideas about how she should spend her time in the French capital. And to start with, there’s a vintage Dior dress with her name on it. Somewhere between the cramped shelves of Shakespeare and Company bookshop, the crisp tablecloths of the Brasserie Les Deux Magots and a pile of discarded paintings at a busy flea market, long-buried truths about Stella’s own past begin to emerge. Soon she starts to wonder if there might not have been more to her mother’s suggestion than she first suspected… |
