I am a bookworm. Reading is my passion as I literally grew up with them in our house. My mom is a bookworm herself and I must have gotten it from her. A very good piece of book can really make my day. Books are part of my collections and I will continue to collect more in the years to come. I wish that my daughter will acquire that passion too. That makes 3 generations of bookworms.
Have you ever heard of a book festival wherein after the show the books are eaten by the attendees? There is such a festival indeed! The books on display are sure to satisfy anyones gastronomic cravings as they are not just fun to read but delicious to eat too! These books are actually made of edible food that had been created as a fun and delicious treat. Think of art cakes. Modern bakers are making art cakes through the use of fondant and sugar paste. We can see cakes in form of books, people, a castle and even a pair of shoes!
The festival is held in Northwood, New Hampshire is a Festival that is celebrated on April 1st in over 18 countries including: Canada, Morocco, United States, Mexico, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Brazil, France, England, India, Italy, Japan, Russia and Hongkong. The chosen date was in commemoration with the birthday of French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) writer of the famous literary piece, Physiologie du gout . The Festival started in 2000.
The town of Northwood in New Hampshire is set to celebrate its 2nd Annual Edible Book Festival this year. Participants are encouraged to document their creations and upload it to the master website of The International Edible Book Festival. It is very timely that the unique event is set on April 1st which is April fools Day because it is a perfect day to play with words and eat them!
I definitely can't wait to be in this Festival as there are just too many books to read and too many of them to eat!
