Need some cookie inspiration? The Cookie Time article shares many links and ideas for the holidays. Our monthly new cookbook review was shared along with our EYB Cookbook Club Summary in our newsletter. Be sure to check your inbox.

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written articles that include a roundup of holiday gift ideas from your favorite authors, the loss of recipe cards, the secret origins of some popular foods, reheating with ‘art and discernment’, the passing of Chef Gary Rhodes at 59, and Airbnb’s new service aimed at food lovers. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday (#foodnews brings up these information-packed posts).

You can turn to our gift guide for the cookbook lover and for the baker for inspiration this gift-giving season. Don’t forget if you buy a gift certificate you can win cookbooks for yourself. We are also continually updating our Kindle & Holiday Deals post so please be sure to check daily for sales! During your holiday shopping and everyday online shopping, we appreciate you 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.
