Make your Book Club Menu
Scrumptious and Easy to Prepare

These book club menus are for those of you who want to prepare a fun and delicious meal but don't have the extra time to follow a book theme or cook from scratch. Fancy Table

That's okay! Your menu can be just as talked about at the end of the night as a themed menu if you pair the right things. We've put together a few favorites that will produce great results and won't take a long time to prepare.

Each of the following general book club menus can be prepared using a recipe of your own or by getting the items pre-made at the store.

Each menu option includes a suggested drink to compliment the meal. It is always a good idea to have water and soda on hand as well. As you get to know your members you can provide drinks specific to their likes and dislikes.
