Down the cakehole: Cookery book swap
17 November 2011
Tweeters, dust your shelves and pull out your best cookery books because the Coach & Horses pub in Clerkenwell (twitter name @PumpkinAndMice) has
launched the #charitycookerybookexchange, happening this Saturday.
For anyone not yet following the Twitter feed, there is a raffle for books donated and signed by Jason Atherton, Nigel Slater, Bill Granger, Eric Lanlard and Edd Kimber. But if you have a food tome that you want to throw out, the pub landlord will "buy" it from you for around 25 per cent of its face value, exchanging it for tokens to spend in the pub. Your book goes on sale for half the face value and the difference goes to the NSPCC.
Get down to the Coach & Horses (26-28 Ray Street, EC1, 020 7278 8990) at 4pm on Saturday. Entry £5.
