BOOK CLUB TIP - Pot Luck Dinner Paired with Biographies

 An idea from The Ladies of Autumnwood of Grand Island, New York.

 From member Maryl Gavazzi:

"For a recent meeting, each of us chose a biography or autobiography and brought a dish pertaining to that author. Our host read Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson and prepared "Apple" cake and appletinis...clever. Another read a biography of Renoir and brought quiche. Someone else read a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and brought angel food cake with strawberries -- Eleanor's favorite."
