We’re still in the midst of a fascinating discussion of our November book selection, White Truffles in Winter, By N.M. Kelby. The Edible Books community is growing, and your participation is what makes this conversation great.
And it is already time to place your nominations for our December book selection. We’re headed into the busy holiday season, but please take a moment to leave your nominations in comments here on the website, after this post. Nominate as many books as you want to, then lobby as hard as you like, here or on twitter (don’t forget to use the #ediblebooks hashtag!).
Nominations are open from now until Monday, November 19th at midnight. We’ll announce the short list and start voting on Wednesday the 21st, and the polls will stay open until Sunday,November 25th. We’ll announce the book, then the reading/discussion will start on December 1st.
Looking forward to some fresh December book suggestions, and even more great discussion!

I am going to nominate Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe by Jenny Colgan. If it is like other Jenny Colgan books it will be a lovely, fun read that is full of food and, as the name suggests, Christmas spirit. Perfect for the month of December. I will be lobbying hard…..
I’ve got two nominations: The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz, and The Language of Baklava by Diana Abu-Jaber.
We also have two nominations from Rose via twitter: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle By Barbara Kingsolver, and Serve it Forth by MFK Fisher!
I nominate Michael Ruhlman’s “Reach of a Chef”. http://www.amazon.com/Reach-Chef-Professional-Cooks-Celebrity/dp/0143112074/ref=la_B001H6G9JW_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1353194166&sr=1-10 I’d be happy with reading any of his books, but this would give me a great excuse to read the latest one.
I’d like to nominate ‘The Kitchen Diaries’ by Nigel Slater. Apparently, it was released in the UK in 2006, but has only just been released in the US this month. It is on my Christmas list. If it wins, I’ll just have to get it early. If not, I’ll have to wait for Christmas.
To create a bit of a Nigel Slater-off I’d like to nominate Toast by Nigel Slater.
Thanks for all your nominations. You can nominate until 19th November after which the polls will open so lobby hard for your choice. The harder you lobby, the more votes you will get. The winner will be announced on 25th November.
