A friend had a costume party for her birthday last year.  Only her women friends were invited, and we all dressed up as our favorite woman writers.  I was in charge of the food.  I went through a lot of my woman-author books and made the menu inspired from different passages in the books.  There is a blog post before the recipe that shows the entire menu and the chosen dishes.   It was a lot of fun!

(Ann, I must say that I love this idea.  A dinner party like this would be a great annual event for book clubs!)
