On (or around -- they show some flexibility) 1 April it's again International Edible Book Festival time.
As that official site notes, it's not just for April Fool's Day's sake -- 1 April is also: "the birthday of French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin".
They're doing this all over the place -- check out Texas A & M's Edible Book Festival 2014 (with awards for 'punniest' and 'grossest' entry, among others); the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's 9th Annual Edible Books Festival (with awards given for 'Best Depiction of a Classic' and 'Most Appetizing', among others; as the home of the US office of Dalkey Archive Press I would have hoped for more Dalkey-related dishes on offer ... maybe this year); and the WNY Book Arts Center (Buffalo, New York) Edible Book Festival -- although there are a lot more (maybe even in your neighborhood ...).
A lot of these sites have galleries of previous years' entries/winners -- some creative stuff among them.
