Today, let's take a look at two cookbooks that were published this year that we haven't talked about yet on the blog.
Well, if you love pie...and you do...you need this book. Not only is it a book of sweet pies, but savory as well. The book is divided by season, featuring seasonal ingredients at their peak.
Gingersnap Key Lime pie? Mushroom & Chevre Galette? Yes, please.
It may be the middle of December, but I'm already dreaming of this frozen strawberry pie.
Ashley's blog: Small Measure
A Year of Pies: Amazon and Barnes & Noble
I tried to resist buying this book. You see, I'm not just a cookie dough lover, I'm a cookie dough LOOOOOVER. I'd eat a bowl of dough over a regular ol' cookie just about any day. So, I was afraid for my waistline. Very, very afraid. So, I just admired it from afar.
Then, I met the adorable Lindsay, and her equally adorable husband, and thought, "waistline be darned...I'm buying that book."
Oh! Can we talk about Cookie Dough Cream Pie?
Or...Cookie Dough Brownies and Cookie Dough Swirl Marshmallows?
Maybe it's not the best book for my waistline, but it's good for my SOUL.
Lindsay's blog: Love and Olive Oil
The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook: Amazon and Barnes & Noble

I already have the Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook and I'm loving it. I hope to win the A Year of Pies! I love pies but I don't make them often. I think it'll change if I have this beautiful book. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cookbook is David Lebovitz's "Ready for Dessert." My favorite recipes from there are the Irish Coffee Cupcakes, Fresh Ginger Cake, and Chocolate Almond Biscotti. If I had to choose, I'd pick the pie cookbook!
ReplyDeleteAgain, making me pick favorites! I really like Martha Stewart's Cookies and the Sweet Melissa Baking book. My cookbooks have outgrown my kitchen and stacked all over the house.
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Story is a great movie!
ReplyDeleteAll of the Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks are my favorites. Also, The Betty Crocker Cookbook. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteoops! meant to say all the America's Best Test Kitchen cookbooks...i love reading them cover to cover.
DeleteHm.. I'm only nineteen so my cooking is limited but my Betty Crocker book has been amazing so far! I also have a Hershey's one just for desserts.
ReplyDeleteOh and favorite movie is probably Elf. Other than that i have stuck to Christmas themed episodes of Buffy xD
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cookbook is the original Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas. I've had it since I was learning to cook as a college student in the late seventies and it's still my goto cookbook for quiche, lasagne and a lot of other recipes. They tend to be a little heavy on the cheese, butter and cream compared to a lot of today's cookbooks, but they do come out tasty!
ReplyDeleteAnd my favorite tv Christmas show is the original animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You're a mean one, Mr.Grinch. Love that song.
ReplyDeleteI don't have either of those cookbooks, but they look delicious! My most used cookbook is a set of betty crocker ones that are probably older than I am! The spine are duct taped together! As for recent books, I love the sprinklebakes cookbook just to look at!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas special is that old stop motion (I think) rudolph one!
ReplyDeleteRebar is my go-to for absolutely everything!!
ReplyDeleteWe've watched the Santa Clause trilogy with my niece for the past few years...and I secretly love it ;)
