I have a little bit of a collection (more than ten books, but less than twenty?) of gingerbread house cookbooks. I never make gingerbread (I’m allergic to both ginger and cinnamon, sadly) but I love to look through the designs and peek at the charming houses. Mima Sinclair’s “Gingerbread Wonderland” cookbook has 30 different gingerbread cookies, cakes and houses (including ...
More than just a cookbook, “Entertaining with Disney” is a party inspiration, crafts and entertaining book. Each theme party includes crafts, decorations, and recipes that support the theme of that particular Disney movie. The parties are definitely geared towards small children. The photography is delightful, colorful and whimsical. Chapters include: Cinderella “Stroke of Midnight” New Year’s Eve Party The Lion ...
As a lifelong vegetarian who often cooks for Jewish friends who keep kosher, I’m always looking for a good Jewish vegetarian cookbook. Paola Gavin’s “Hazana” will likely find a permanent home on my crowded cookbook shelf soon, after I take my borrowed copy back to the library. Because Jewish people moved around for many hundreds of years, they incorporated foods, ...

The Meatless Monday Family Cookbook (via Amazon) specializes in kid-friendly, plant-based recipes. I’m a lifelong vegetarian (not the preachy kind, don’t worry!) so I’m always up for a nice meatless cookbook. This book, though, could also come in handy for people just looking to cut down on their meat consumption a little bit. I know it can be really intimidating ...

Mod Cocktails, by Natalie Jacob (Page Street Publishing, November 5, 2019) is a really chic book. It presents modern takes on cocktail recipes from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Even though the Mad Men television show craze is over, I still have lots of friends who worship mid-century design and are nostalgic for those three decades. I might slip a ...
Mimi Council’s “Cookies for Everyone” book was released on November 5, 2019. It features “100 customizable bakeshop recipes.” I received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The book begins with a look at basic ingredients from Farm and Fridge and from your pantry. There’s an important tip involving weighing your eggs ...
There are so many new cookbooks out this week I can barely catch up! I’m snooping around on Amazon and other booksellers’ websites, making my Christmas list (both for cookbooks I want to gift people and cookbooks I want to beg Santa for!) Take a look at some of the best new offerings. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this ...
Just out this week: Vegan Everything, by Nadine Horn and Jörg Mayer. It’s from independent small press publisher “The Experiment.” I received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t have a lot of familiarity with vegan cookbooks – I’m a milk-drinking, cheese-eating, sour-cream addicted vegetarian. But now that ...
