The Edible Book Festival is all about making food with a literary flavor! Participants bake, cook or otherwise create dishes inspired by fiction or non-fiction literary works or characters. This friendly competition is open to anyone in the University and Champaign-Urbana, Ill., communities, from professional pastry chefs to parents and kids who like to have fun in the kitchen. As always, public viewing is welcome!

The festival will be accepting book donations for Books for Prisoners and monetary donations for Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
