This Week at Eat Your Books

The second week of October flew by rapidly. Every day as new cookbooks arrive, I try to spend as much time as possible writing up brief summaries to make this month’s new cookbook review less overwhelming.

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written about the creation of the Le Corbuffet: Edible Art and Design cookbook, Tools that the pros can’t cook without and shared Diana Henry’s favorite new fall cookbooks. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday.

I prepared a recap of Desserts Week on The Great British Bake Off and shared news from a galaxy far, far away: Star Wars meets Le Creuset. We have also shared a number of promotions for the following cookbooks: Sababa, Leaf, and Gluten-Free Baking at Home. We will have many promotions coming up so be sure to keep checking the blog. Speaking of giveaways, be sure to check out our giveaway roundup with information on contests that are ending this weekend!
