Really interesting poetry collection,

Thank you to the publisher for letting me read and review!

"Eat This Poem" is a luscious book, one I wished to devoured and savor at the same time, which is likely why it took me so long to finish. The book is an excellent blend of a poetry collection, cookbook, and memoir. Nicole Gulotta brings the poetry alive with her stories and recipe choices. "Eat This Poem" is a beautiful book, perfect for people who love language and delicious food.

If you like food and poetry this book is for you. With food inspired poems this is lovely. The poems and pictures and recipes are lovely. This is a book to dip in and out of.

A beautiful fusion of poems and recipes, a perfect combination to delight the senses. It's the ideal comfort read with both food and words to nourish the soul - it would make a wonderful gift, and is just as good to read in-depth as it is to flip through for quick inspiration.

I love cookbooks and have a bad habit of collecting some of the interesting ones I come across. This one will be added to my collection (got a digital copy to review). My love of cooking is growing steadily to match my love of literature and poetry. This book combines poetry, analysis of the poems, stories from the author, and recipes.

Each section of this book has a few poems that connect with the recipes in that section. So a poem about blueberries is followed by a quick analysis from Nicole which then ties into the following recipes. Some of the recipes have stories to explain while Nicole included them in this collection.

In so many cases of the cookbooks I collect (many from celebrity chefs) I don't end up making any of the dishes because they are too 'fancy' for my style of cooking. This book has some of those, but also some easy and simple recipes that will easily find their way into my kitchen. I'm a member of a CSA and a lot of what I get from the farm this summer will be used to cook from this cookbook. For the few recipes that call for canned items, I was happy to see that her recommended brands can be purchased at my small local grocery store.

If you love poetry and you love cooking, I think this book would make a good addition to your collection.

I loved this book! Great poems paired with wonderful recipes! How could someone not enjoy reading the poems and cooking!?

This satisfying mix of poems and recipes to accompany them makes a great gift for National Poetry Month, April birthdays, or any occasion when you would like to treat someone to poetry.

A cookbook disguised a collection of poems—or vice versa—this book contains a hanful of recipes I am willing to try out. I enjoyed all the poems contained within its pages.

What a truly glorious book - I really enjoyed spending time with these pages both for the poems and the recipes.

I have to say my favourite poem was The Onion by Margaret Gibson which really spoke to me at the time because my family was driving quietly round the twist so I really felt the line ' I could stay in bed and be the woman who aches for no reason...'

There so many poems I had never read before and that came to life because of the stories Nicole Gulotta told around them and the recipes she shared beside them.

Maple syrup added to Greek Yogurt as become my new secret vice and I'm gradually working my way through many of the recipes which are healthy, doable and yummy.

It is a book that would make a wonderful gift for someone in your life who likes to read and likes to cook - it is the perfect flavour.
