The Edible Book The Edible Book event began in 1999, when co-­‐
founder Judith Holmberg, of Santa Monica, California, got the idea during a Thanksgiving dinner with book artists. Since that time it has grown and become an international event. The festival honors French gastronome Jean-­‐Anthelme Brillat-­‐Savarin (1755-­‐
1826), author of The Physiology of Taste, a witty meditation on food. His birth date is April 1st. He wrote, “The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on human-­
ity, than the discovery of a new star.” THE EDIBLE
