If you’re on deck to host your book club we suggest you serve a meal inspired by the book. It is an easy way to plan a menu and the food is sure to be a conversation starter.</p>
<p>A website called<a href="http://www.litlovers.com/mid_.htm"> Lit Lovers i</a>s dedicated to book clubs. They offer menu ideas based on different regions of the world or countries helping you find recipes that are perfect for the book you are reading. So, if your club is reading the latest book from Jumpha Lahiri you can find recipes for Indian food. Is your book set in the Middle East? Try a menu of Chick pea dip, lebanese lamb pie and lentil salad.</p>
<p>What is your club reading next? Leave a comment – we’d love to hear from you.</p>

However, if you give a knife as a gift make sure you follow this European tradition to insure that your friendship will continue. Tradition specifies that if you are given a knife as a gift, you must give the giver a small coin in return. The small payment ensures that your friendship will not be “cut.”</p>
<p>If you are looking to give a special gift we recommend Berti knives. These knives have been handcrafted in Italy for over 100 years. The knife maker takes the knife from start to completion creating a knife that can not be reproduced by industrialized production.</p>
<p><a href="http://didriks.com">Didriks </a>carries Berti’s Carving knives, kitchen knives and table and steak knives. Visit our <a href="http://www.didriks.com/Berti-Knives/Kitchen-Knives-Sets">website</a> to learn more.</p>
