So, yeah.
This might be perfect timing, though, right? If you did not get these books for Christmas, well...it's time to treat yourself. (Or, ask for them for Valentine's Day.)
1. The Cookie Companion by Georganne Bell.
Georganne is the mastermind behind LilaLoa. Georganne is an artist with a fabulous eye for color and design. Her cookies are whimsical, beautiful and fun, and her book is just the same.
Packed with great cookie decorating info, the book contains recipes, tutorials, and tips. The book is organized alphabetically, so you'll find "eyeballs" under E and "Piping bags" and "Pumpkins" under P. Every letter is an adventure. :)
Wait until you see Georganne's vintage technique! So cool!
So, here's where I almost passed out upon seeing the book...the color charts:
Georganne walks through how to make stunning custom colors mixing gel paste food colorings.
Oh, and then there are the color palettes. *faints* I love this part. It makes my heart go pitter-patter.
Love cookie decorating? Interested in cookie decorating? You'll want The Cookie Companion.
2. The Pioneer Woman Cooks Dinnertime by Ree Drummond
Just to start, I always love the covers of Ree's books, but this one is particularly beautiful, I think.
Hey, Ree!
Ree's latest book is all about DINNER! (I bet you guessed that!)
The cookbook is filled with Ree's signature...and super helpful...step-by-step photography.
You'll find 16-minute meals, freezer meals, breakfast for dinner...AND dessert. Ree wouldn't forget dessert!
I love how Ree's cookbooks are just a good read in addition to the recipes. And those ranch photos? *sigh*
I've made several recipes from The Pioneer Woman Cooks Dinnertime so far. Do I even need to tell you they were delicious? (They were.)
I'd like to send one of these lovely cookbooks to one of you! :)

ReplyDeleteRee's book!!!!! Currently snowed in and watching her show as we speak :)
ReplyDeleteThese both look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to win Ree The Pioneer Woman Dinnertime cookbook.
ReplyDeleteI would choose Ree Drummonds cookbook. I love cooking and its my hobby.I started cooking few years ago in college, learning everything I could on food network, to supplies I would need. Since, then I started a small cookbook collection and foodnetwork, gourmet magazines collection, three cookbooks one italian, America's Test Kitchen and The Food Processor Bible. Cooking helped my life, I stopped eating frozen food dinners and started cooking homemade. I forced to as college student with no insurance to start eating healthy. I would watch food network every night from Ree Drummond, to bobby flay grilling, Giada de Laurentis, barefoot contessa, chopped,top chef etc. It became a hobby, once I realized how much, I enjoyed being in the kitchen and making food for other people. I started coming up with my own recipes, I would write them down and then get inspiration of food network for some ideas. I hope one day to work at restaurant and prepare food. But until then, I will be going through my cookbooks to come up with another spark of a recipe.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy cookies, but eat dinner far more frequently than I decorate fancy cookies. So I would like Ree's book as it would get more use here! They both look gorgeous, though!
ReplyDeleteOh the choices!! Already owning every Pioneer Woman Cookbook, I would love The Cookie Companion!
ReplyDeleteReeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteI'd would like The Cookie Companion.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the cookie companion since I plan to make Valentines Cookies for some of my friends. I ordered the Pioneer Woman Cookbook in November and have already tried some of her delicious recipes.

I gave her book away to my sister in law for Christmas and waited for mine to show up Christmas morning. But alas...it did not. Would love my own copy:) And in about a year..the new cookie decorating book!:)
ReplyDeleteBoth books look great but since I have one already from the Pioneer Woman, I'd like a copy of The Cookie Companion!

ReplyDeleteIn the last few months, I've started a small cookie business...thanks in large part to your fantastic cookie recipe, and extremely useful tips & tricks.

ReplyDeleteThe Cookie Companion!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun books! I got the dinner cookbook for Christmas and love it. If I win, I'd give that book to my mother in law. She loves Ree as much as I do. Just today we were at a bookstore and she flipped through the pages.
ReplyDeleteI would love either one! But maybe the Pioneer Woman's book just a tad bit more because I'm obsessed with her show and cooking style and her beautiful house! Thanks for the giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteRee's cookbook Dinnertime would be my choice. While I love to look at your gorgeous cookies and I'm sure the Cookie Companion would be a feast for the eyes - dinner is something I have to make every day and sometimes I really struggle with getting burnt out on ideas. I love Ree's approach to cooking and I'm sure she has some fabulous recipes in there. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThough I love the Pioneer Woman, I recently took a cookie decorating class and would love The Cookie Companion so that I can learn and practice new things!

ReplyDeleteSo that's the feeling I get when I see a cookbook that I must have! A cookbook crush! I would love them both, but the baker in me says The Cookie Companion. You can never have enough color charts, or cookie cutter ideas. I never would have thought a paw into a monkey. Genius!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE both, but I already have the cookie companion, so I'd love to have a copy of the Pioneer Woman's latest!
ReplyDeleteJust curious...Did you pick winners yet?
ReplyDeleteWhat books are needed for people of different professions. Chef must have leadership qualities and wisdom that can be found in books. A fantastic read can help you understand the essence of a leader. Cooking and self-education are parallel concepts that can overlap.
