Location: The Good Shepherd Center, 4649 Sunnyside Ave North, Seattle, WA [map]
Cost: Admission is free for those bringing entries and $10 for those without entries

Cook the Books! combines the creative and culinary talents of NW bibliophiles, foodies, book artists, chefs, bakers, librarians, kids and punsters. To participate - register before April 8th by emailing frybooks at gmail dot com then create and bring a piece of edible art related to books: it can pun on a title, refer to a scene or character, look like a book (or paper, scroll etc), or just have something to do with books. Whatever the inspiration - it must be edible. Every type of book---children's classics, detective novels, biographies, fiction and non, poetry, short stories ---will be sculpted from a smörgåsbord of foodstuffs. Imagine The Brothers Karamatzah, S'more and Peace, Alice in Wonderbread, The Bun Also Rises, Goodnight Moon Pie, Curd Vonnegut... and so many more brainy, beautiful, silly, clever and tasty transubstantiations of books we love into treats we eat! We expect over 150 entries this year.

11:00 to 12:00 Edible Entries will be accepted, installed and photographed
12:00 to 1:30 public viewing
1:30 Celebrity Judges award prizes
2:00 Edible Books will be eaten with tea, coffee and milk
