This week: Cookbook news, EYB features, GBBO recaps, online classes, recipes and more

Earlier this week several social media sites were down for roughly five hours inspiring Darcie to write Things to do when Facebook and Instagram are down. This post was a good reminder of some of EYB’s features both old and new. How to Make EYB work better for you is another great reference for our members. Even after working for EYB for almost six years I sometimes forget certain of the amazing things EYB can do. Our help pages are available and share many tutorials.

A member recently commented on a GBBO recap that they had a hard time finding that particular post. The “Search this Blog” option on the blog page is the easy answer to that dilemma. Just enter your search words: for example if I want to pull up our posts regarding Le Creuset – type in Le Creuset – and hit “Go”. Every post with that word (or phrase) will come up.

Some general cookbook news: Rose Levy Beranbaum’s The Cookie Bible will be published on Oct 4th, 2022 instead of next month. Issues with printing and shipping have resulted in a delay that would not have the book out in time for holiday baking. Other titles are meeting similar fates. Today, I updated publication dates on over a dozen October releases which had changed over the last week to dates in November and beyond. Our 2021 preview post is current with these edits.

I’ve been working on some fantastic promotions to share over the next two months. We will have a giveaway for a set of Modernist Pizza along with a J.K. Adams cutting board; Dorie’s gorgeous new book with an Emile Henry tarte tatin pan; Upper Crust with an Emile Henry Epi Bread – Wheat Stalk Baguette Baker; David Chang’s new book with Smithey’s new carbon steel wok; and several more cookbooks paired with beautiful cookware and bakeware products. So stay tuned!

The last week on the blog

Since our last roundup, Darcie has written these articles:

• The ins and outs of buttermilk
• Things to do when Facebook and Instagram are down
• World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021
• Giving thanks in 2021

Darcie’s weekly food news antipasto is shared every Sunday and the tag #foodnews brings up these information-packed posts from the most current to the first one. Darcie can be followed on Instagram at darcie_bakes.

Darcie, Jane and I both contribute to our GBBO recap posts. All GBBO related posts are tagged #gbbo2021. This week’s recap will be up soon.

Since our last roundup, I have posted the following:

• The Modern Preserver’s Kitchen Cookbook Giveaway (US/UK/AU/NZ)
• Jialin Tian – Ph.D. Pastry Chef – Cookbook Giveaway (Worldwide)
• October 2021 Great Big Cookbook Club Summary (updated)
• Looking forward to 2022 cookbooks (updated)

Our cookbook deals post is frequently updated (note the new permanent link) so check the blog for new sales (the ICYMI post explains the post in detail). My Instagram is thecookbookjunkies.

Be sure to check our calendar for new additions including Sur la Table’s cookbook club for October which features Scott Conant and his new title and Dorie is the guest author in November. A reminder Dorie will be joining Brian Hart Hoffman for Williams-Sonoma’s online baking school on October 18th.

Lastly, my favorite time of the year is here – holiday baking magazines are hitting the newstands. Be sure to pick up Bake from Scratch’s Holiday Cookie issue. It is a dream.
