Western New York Book Arts Center announces its 18th annual Edible Book Festival, to be held at 468 Washington St., Buffalo, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, March 28.
Organizers said, “We want to know: What does your favorite book taste like?”
“The Edible Book Festival is a family-friendly, international festival held annually on or around April 1, inviting participants to create edible creations inspired by a book. Edible book creations are ranked by local ‘celebrity judges,’ and the winning artist chefs are awarded with surprise prizes. Then we eat our words! All are welcome to partake in eating the books after winners are announced.”
This year’s judges are Geoffrey Gatza (BlazeVOX Books; author and chef), Keith Raimondi (owner of Dapper Goose) and Jessica Aherns (chef at AKG).
