The last two weeks at EYB

It has been two weeks since our last roundup as we were super busy with the month-end new cookbook review and EYB cookbook club summaries along with the best of the best cookbooks 2019 and best cookbooks of 2019 by the experts. Our monthly newsletter went out on Monday of this week be sure to check your inbox if you missed it and you can always find the newsletter in our archive list.

A few highlights of the articles written by Darcie over the last few weeks include picking the right cocoa powder for the job, new food words added to the dictionary, the rise of Nordic baking, an ode to tiramisu and the delays faced in getting around to cooking a new recipe in how many licks does it take? Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday (#foodnews brings up these information-packed posts).

The looking forward to 2020 cookbooks post provides an outline of upcoming cookbooks that I have uncovered to date. Throughout the year, this post will be frequently updated with new additions, edits to titles and publication dates and more!

Remember you have until December 31st to buy a gift certificate to EYB for a chance to enter our raffle for two sets of five 2019 cookbooks!
