About Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp

Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp are cooks, book enthusiasts, and friends. Seeking to combine their passion for books, food, and book clubs, they met over stacks of books and endless cups of coffee at a local sandwich shop, where The Book Club Cookbook was born. The revised edition of The Book Club Cookbook, featuring 20 new book club titles and recipes, was published in 2012.

They were motivated to write their second book, The Kids’ Book Club Book, after librarians, parents, and teachers who attended their talks asked for a similar book for the growing number of youth book clubs across the country. Table of Contents features book-related recipes from fifty of today’s most popular authors.

Since 2004, they have shared their love of food and literature with book club members and authors via BookClubCookbook.com.
