Cooking the Books


The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library is hosting the "Incredible, Edible Book Contest." Dishes depicting the title of famous books are on display, but through the wonder that is the internet, you can see them without venturing to the Kansas capital. The couscous representation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic Dune is a naive triumph.

The report says, "The tradition takes place in 28 states and 15 countries, but this is Topeka's first edible book festival!" [exclamation theirs]. There's been a Rice of the Ancient Mariner in Texas and a Finnegan's Cake in the UK. How did I miss this? --David E
