July’s New Members

We want to welcome Kim, Ali, Kim, and Jules to our group!

Kim is from the blog Rustic Garden Bistro, which is written with her partner Barry. They live in southern California and their goal is to run a little community bistro. Their fresh, inventive food is often made with items from their beautiful garden and they have just started keeping chickens. Stop by Kim’s blog to get to know her more.

Ali is the blogger behind Jam Hands. She and her spouse and two kids live in Kansas. Her blog is upbeat, friendly, and community oriented–she’s recently started a Jam Hands community forum. She has a massive back catalogue of family friendly recipes, which you can browse when you pop over to welcome her.

Kim writes the food and craft blog My Cup of Creativi-Tea. She also edits the virtual book club From Left to Write. She is a mother to two small children and is always creating something, from headbands to ice cream. Please head over to her blog to say hello.

Jules is the mastermind behind stonesoup, a minimalist cooking blog. She’s also a food scientist, photographer and runs the Stonesoup Virtual Cookery School. She has made a commitment to make only recipes with five or few ingredients–for the rest of her life. Please visit to her blog to get to know her and say hello.

Kim, Ali, Kim, and Jules have already been added to our blog roll and the RSS feed bundle of members’ blogs. If you subscribe to the feed bundle you would have seen their posts were added earlier this month.

Blood, Bones & Butter: June Round-Up

Many thanks to those of you who read and reviewed our June book, Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton, chosen by Aileen of Pharma Foodie. You can read all the reviews by using these links:

Our July book is the novel The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen, chosen by Karen of Shortbread. It looks to be a perfect relaxing read for the beach or the airplane. Please remember to link back to the Kitchen Reader homepage and to Karen’s blog in your review. You can post your review any time in the last week of July, preferably as close to the end of the month as possible.
