Everyone loves a cookbook

Elisabeth Wolf @elisabethwolf.bsky.social · 7d

This week’s Edinburgh Shelfie focuses on events tied to cookbooks - as the weather gets cold, we all need warming, delicious comfort food.

Plus, there’s a new specialist cookbook shop coming to Edinburgh (or should that be cook bookshop?) this autumn.

And a cookbook event

This is definitely going on my Christmas list - it'll make the perfect present for any gothic writer! 😂

Peak Edinburgh!

Body Count comes out a week today - and I can thoroughly recommend it. In Saffy, @juliecohen.bsky.social has conjured up one of those fictional characters you wish you could spend an evening with down the pub. A killer creation!

Does this mean you're opening a bar behind the counter? 🤣
