Belonging to a book club is fun and rewarding. When it is your turn to host it can be downright scary! As the host, you have many questions to consider. Do you want to get ready a general or themed menu? Do you want to make book club favors? Do you want your guests to come in costume?
But let us just address the menu today. There are unmistakably two ways you can do this. The first is to come up with a general (and delicious) meal.
Menu Salads
For example:
1. Caesar Salad, Lasagne, Garlic Bread
2. Asian salad, Beef Lo Mein, Fortune Cookies
3. French Onion Soup, Club Sandwiches, and Cole Slaw
Or you can pick to create a themed menu based on the book your group has read. For example, if you have read The Other Boleyn Girl by Philip Gregory you may pick to make a dinner with an Old English theme. Your menu might consist of mince meat pie, hunks of bread, and cheese. Themed menus are a ton of fun but need a creative attempt and the time to get ready them.
Either way you pick to go you need to ask yourself these questions (1)do I have the time to get creative?, (2)are the members of my group picky eaters?, (3)will i be frustrated if things do not turn out the way I hoped?, and (4)what is my contingency plan if I ruin the first menu? If you pick to do something new or themed, absolutely get ready a practice run for your family!
