This week at Eat Your Books

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written articles that include a roundup of new ideas for edible gifts, Joy of Cooking’s enduring appeal, a new series based on the life of Chef Aarón Sánchez, ’12 days of cookies’ trends, and the possibility of a french fry shortage. Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday (#foodnews brings up these information-packed posts).

Need some cookie inspiration? The Cookie Time article has been updated with a few more links to cookie recipes! 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.
