I am a self-confessed book addict. I acquire this taste for books from my mom who is a voracious reader herself. I practically grew up in the presence of books and novels as you can see these things lying around our house everyday. A very good piece of book can really make my day. Books are once of my collections and I would never get tired of collecting those, ever. I hope that my daughter would acquire the same penchant on reading just like me. That will make us already 3 generations of bookworms.
Have you heard of a claim about a book festival where participants eat the books after the show? Yes, you heard it right. Welcome to The International Edible Book Festival. In here, one can showcase an edible art mimicking a book for everyone to see. 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 hold The International Edible Book Festival on April 1st of this year. They are on their second year now. It is very timely that the Festival is done on April fools Day because it is the perfect day play with words and eat them!
I cannot wait to be in this Festival as there are just too many books to read and too many of them to eat!
