Skylar was the host for All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. This is an amazing book that everyone should experience. Stories like this make for wonderful discussion and, of course, Skylar always does fabulous menu. She focused on cultural menu items rather than foods that were mentioned in the book because food was pretty scarce throughout the story.

The cheese plate consisted of a wild
mushroom Brie, a double cream Brie, and a Chèvre with blueberries. Skylar also
served a mint and feta frittata (recipe here) along with the apple strudel and sage
sausage.
Really!
Read this book. You will be thankful you
did. Next up is Jamie hosting a
discussion of The Rosie Project by Graeme C. Simsion. Thanks to Skylar for the wonderful brunch.
