Christmas in January – Cookbooks, Cookie Press & Duralex Bowls Giveaway
January 9, 2022 by Jenny
Between the end of the year rush and being sick (that is still lingering), I feel cheated out of Christmas. December is my favorite month – my birthday, the holiday decorations, relaxing, baking, and the overall feel of the holidays – I feel like I missed it all.
We are not taking the tree down for another two weeks so I can pretend it is still the holiday season. I love lights and keep a string of lights around the kitchen window and other places in the house channeling my inner Nigella.
To continue the feeling of the holidays, I want to share a few great baking books and products with you as well offering a giveaway to keep the season of giving alive.
Gingerbread: A Wonderland of Houses, Creative Constructions and Cookies; with 38 Projects, Gingerbread Recipes and Templates by Heather Whinney shares everything gingerbread, from basic recipes to gorgeous constructions. Cut-out garlands, tree decorations and woodland tabletop scenes to log cabins, sweet-festooned cottages and elaborate winter chalets. There are ginger biscuits, Bundts and seasonal cakes. All shown in photographic detail and with templates, this festive book is not just for Christmas. Our
