I started a book club through my mom's group, and I'm hosting the first one next week. We;re discussing "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" which is a fabulous book BTW. I'm providing coffee and dessert. I can't decide what to make though. It's so seldom these days that we entertain that I'm obsessing over the details.
Which dessert sounds the best? Keep in mind it should go rather well with coffee.
~peach cobbler
~lemon bars
Let the voting begin!
I would vote for peach cobbler, but you'd need ice cream, too!!! ;-)
Posted by: Jennie at July 19, 2007 03:14 PMI -loved- that book. So good. I read it a while ago, so no food inspiration comes to mind, but one thing that my book club tries to do is base the food on the book. Were there any references to desserts in the book?
My mouth votes for the coconut dream cake.
It all sounds good... I'm partial to lemon. :)
Posted by: Laura at July 19, 2007 03:46 PMWeel, in my book it's not quite dessert if it's not chocolate so I vote for the chocolate cake!
Posted by: Jessica at July 19, 2007 04:44 PMI vote for Chocolate Cake~they're ALL good desserts but I see coffee going better w/the chocolate cake :)
Posted by: connie at July 19, 2007 04:51 PMI say the lemon bars....my mouth is watering now. Care to post the recipe?
Posted by: Heather at July 19, 2007 05:19 PMI love dessert in general, so they all sound pretty great. I don't drink coffee...but if I did...I think I'd go w/ either the chocolate cake or the coconut cake.
Posted by: Chas at July 19, 2007 10:49 PMI *love* lemony things, but I think that cake and coffee go *so* well together. So ... I'll vote for the cake. :) But Shokufeh is right ~ is there a particular dessert that would match the theme of the book? I'll have to add that one to my Amazon wishlist. Thanks for the tip! Have fun making dessert! :)
Posted by: Lisanne at July 20, 2007 08:19 AMChocolate cake.
Posted by: Ani at July 20, 2007 09:24 AMI would do Chocolate Cake... a lot of people don't like coconut with coffee or lemon... and almost everyone likes chocolate cake...
Posted by: Shannon O. at July 20, 2007 02:54 PMI vote chocolate cake or peach cobbler. Peaches are in season, right? If our book club was still active, I'd probably do the cobbler since I always like to make desserts with fresh fruit.
Posted by: Christina at July 20, 2007 04:32 PMI say lemon bars. I love chocolate but those are perfect book group fare.
Posted by: b at July 20, 2007 11:23 PMi have to go with the lemon bars. i love lemon bars!
Posted by: cady at July 21, 2007 08:28 AMI vote for the coconut dream cake!!! Yum I'm so glad you have the recipe linked. I think it would go very nice with coffee. Have fun!
