Cookbook Tidbits
June 14, 2020 by Jenny

Preview of Autumn/Fall 2020 Cookbooks
May 13, 2020 by Jenny
This year has been like no other, it has been topsy turvy, to say the least. It makes sense that my preview posts follow that course. I began with dessert first: pies and then cake, now it's time to get to the main course. While I have an entire yearly compilation of cookbook releases outlined in my looking forward to… read more

Let Them Eat Cake!
May 2, 2020 by Jenny
A short while back I wrote, Were you a pie baker, when pie baking wasn’t cool?. I was excited and overwhelmed by the sheer number of pie cookbooks slated for publication this year. Move over pie cookbooks, cake cookbooks are heading into Dodge. Personally, I am a cake over pie dessert person and this year's crop of cookbooks covering cakes… read more

April 27, 2020 by Darcie
Barnes & Noble, the last standing brick-and-mortar large chain bookstore, recently closed over 500 of its 600 retail stores.

The best spring cookbooks according to Epicurious
March 16, 2020 by Darcie
While Jenny provides us all with great reviews of upcoming books, she is only one person and can't possibly review every new volume that is hitting store shelves.

Meet India’s ‘Pickle Queen’
January 7, 2020 by Darcie
Most self-published books are vanity projects and their print runs and sales are usually miniscule. Sometimes, however, one will break the mold and become a cult classic or even, in rare cases, a bestseller. That is part of the story behind Usha's Pickle Digest: The Perfect Pickle Recipe Book by Usha R. Prabakaran - but the self-publishing success is only… read more

Joanna Gaines’ second cookbook available for preorder
November 7, 2019 by Darcie
To say that Magnolia Table, the debut cookbook from HGTV star Joanna Gaines, was a smash is an understatement.

In June, Joanna teased fans with an… read more
Historic menu inspires an artful cookbook

Family recipes that revealed a secret
September 30, 2019 by Darcie
When Genie Milgrom was growing up, she never noticed that a family secret lurked in the recipes that her mother and grandmother made. Raised in a devoutly Catholic household, Milgrom never questioned the idiosyncrasies of her family's foods. They never mixed meat and dairy in the same meal, and they always cracked eggs into a separate bowl to make sure… read more
