A Book Club Brunch: All the Light We Cannot See

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.

Blueberry Jam Prosecco

The Cocktail

Makes One

§  1 ¹⁄₂ tbsp. blueberry jam
§  ³⁄₄ oz. fresh lemon juice
§  1 ¹⁄₂ oz. vodka
§  3 oz. Prosecco 

In a cocktail shaker, combine the jam, lemon juice, and vodka with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds and then strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Top with prosecco and garnish with fresh blueberries.

The Menu

Apple Strudel

Sage Sausage

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.
