This week at Eat Your Books

While I’ve been busy with October’s massive cookbook review, I managed to prepare a recap of Festival Week on The Great British Bake Off. I am obsessed with Tom Hovey’s depictions of the bakes and just ordered a print of Kim-Joy’s fox cake. I wish they would publish Hovey’s illustrations in each cookbook that is released after the series ends – I just love them.

We have also shared promotions for the following cookbooks: Baking with Kim-Joy and From the Oven the Table that includes a piece of cookware from Netherton Foundry. 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 and our calendar of cookbook author, bookstores and cooking classes has been recently updated.

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written about the difference between seltzer, club soda, and sparkling mineral water, why pumpkin spice is associated with fall/autumn, MasterChef Australia’s new hosts, everything you need to know about Dutch ovens and a look inside Martha Stewart’s cookbook library. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday.
