An international festival in commemoration of the birthday of gastronome and author Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, it takes place annually on or around April 1. Members of the Brandeis community are invited to submit edible creations inspired by books. Pictures will be featured on the Brandeis Library Instagram, and judged by a panel of book enthusiasts.
