Edible Book Festivals around the world celebrate books, humor, and imagination through the creation of dishes inspired by books and puns. Edible Book Festivals are fun and silly. Right now fun, silliness, and creativity are just what the Dr. ordered.

Are you hungry to learn more about Edible Book Festivals? During the Facebook Event to be broadcast from Austin Book Arts Center, admire inspiring images of past Edible Book Festival entries. Imagine the taste of materials you can use to make an edible book. Learn tips to prepare Edible Books with ingredients you already have at home.

Using a variety of delicious materials, Mary Baughman has created at least one yummy book for each of Austin’s past 17 Edible Book Festivals. Mary conserved inedible books at the University of Texas Ransom Center for 40 years, and now Mary serves up information about Austin Book Arts Center where everyone can have fun and learn about all sorts of book arts.

This event is part of ABAC’s Third Thursday series. For each event, we invite a special presenter to provide an educational demonstration during the first hour. We hope that health conditions improve rapidly so that we can see you in person at the April 16th ABAC Third Thursday event. These family-friendly events are free and open to the public.”
