Novel Food #11

Special Edition: Announcing Novel Food #11

The new edition of Novel Food, the culinary/literary event that Lisa of Champaign Taste and Simona of briciole co-launched a few seasons ago is here.

If you like to read and you like to cook, this event is perfectly tailored for you. We are looking forward to learning about a published literary work (a novel, novella, short story, memoir, bio, poem) that provided you with culinary inspiration.

This is a fun event: you read, you cook, you write and at the end you also get a nice reading list, which can be easily turned into a plan for enriching your library.

Here are the simple rules for participating in Novel Food:

1. Prepare a dish of your choosing that has a connection to a published literary work (novel, novella, short story, memoir, bio, poem).
2. Publish a post about it on your blog by the end of Monday September 20, 2010 (midnight, Pacific Time), referencing the Novel Food event. Include a link to Lisa's announcement or Simona's announcement. If you wish, you can use the Novel Food logo.
3. Send an e-mail to Lisa (champaigntaste AT gmail DOT com) or to Simona (simosite AT mac DOT com) and include your name, blog name and blog address, and a permanent link to your post. Please, include the words "Novel Food" in the email subject, so we can more easily retrieve the message in our inbox.
4. Non-English submissions are fine. If possible, include an introduction in English.

If you don't have a blog, send us an email telling us about the dish, the literary work that inspired it, and, if you have it, a picture of what you made: we will add it to the roundup as well.

We are planning to do the roundup just in time to celebrate the fall equinox.

Note: If you don't receive an answer to your email or a comment on your post within two days of sending Simona or Lisa the email, please contact them again: sometimes email messages get lost in cyberspace.
