This week at Eat Your Books

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written articles that include preparing for Thanksgiving, how to make the most of dried beans, who invented the everything bagel, and ideas for wrapping edible gifts. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday (#foodnews brings up these information-packed posts).

Last week I shared my first gift guide of the season: gift guide for the cookbook lover and this week my gift guide for the baker with a fabulous giveaway went up. During your holiday shopping and everyday online shopping, we appreciate your using our affiliate links located through every Buy Book link and on our home page (lower right corner). The small commission we make helps to finance improvements to our site as well as indexing efforts.

Our cookbook giveaway roundup is a little different this month. As I add a new giveaway and another expires, I will be updating this monthly post daily. Lastly, be sure to check out our Kindle deals post and also our calendar of cookbook author, bookstores and cooking classes.
