Grapes of Wrath (entry from a past year) |
From time to time I seem to find myself watching one of the cooking war shows on the Food Network (I believe it’s called Last Cake Standing?). Whether they are making life-size Star Wars character cakes, or like the last one I saw- cakes of famous city skylines (tough!), I am always impressed by the realness of the outcome. So for those of you like myself who enjoy cooking, reading, and a little creativity in the kitchen, the Seattle Annual Edible Book Festival will be coming up on April 4. I am currently debating on whether I feel up to the challenge of actually submitting, but either way, plan on not missing this awesome event. |
| Though it will be taking place in Wallingford at the Good Shepherd Center (4649 Sunnyside Avenue North), it’s only a hop and a skip away, and I would hate for all you amazing, talented cooks to miss out on the chance of submitting, or checking it out for the first time. | |

The Dictionary (entry from a past year) |
If you’re thinking about submitting, keep in mind the requirements of the festival: An Edible Book can look like a book, pun on a title, refer to a character, or just have something to do with books– whatever the inspiration, it must be edible. Besides being a fun contest, the Edible Book Festival is a fundraiser for the Seattle Center Book Arts. They will be accepting donations, selling fun treats, and supplying information on book arts and local classes. |
| Admission with entry is free, and admission without an entry is only $10, which gets you in and ready to eat all the literature you can possibly stomach for one afternoon. They will be accepting entries until April 2, and for the admirers, the festival begins at 1 p.m. More information and details can be found on their website at: www.frybooks.blogspot.com. Included below are a couple pictures supplied by Flickr from past Seattle Edible Book Festival entries.
