This week: Favorite pie cookbooks, best apple pie recipes, cookbook giveaways, and previews

Last month, we featured the best recipes for pie crust. As I was updating our EYB cookbook library with new 2020 titles, the myriad baking books (which made me giddy with anticipation) and ten specific books devoted to pie being published this year caught my attention. Pie baking has suddenly become baking's It Girl. I thought it was time to… read more

This week: The best roast chicken recipe; 70,000 cookbook recipes available online and more!

What do you think of when you hear Sunday supper? For me, roast chicken ranks high for our family as a meal that we all enjoy. The beauty of this meal is that it is relatively simple to master. My son could eat chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes and popovers every single day. Throw in my simple leftover bread dressing and… read more

This week: King cake and Madri Gras recipes, a preview of upcoming giveaways, cookbook previews and more!

This week: The best brownie recipes, Valentine’s treats, giveaways, EYBD previews and more

While I am not a huge chocolate fan, my husband and son are chocolate fiends. Anything vanilla or citrus-flavored send my way and I will imbibe until my stretchy pants give up the ghost. So, I don't bake the types of treats I adore for two reasons: those desserts are not met with the enthusiasm that chocolate garners and number… read more

This week: The best wings and game-day snacks, giveaways, EYBD previews and more.

The Super Bowl is this Sunday in the United States.

This week at EYB – The best pie crust recipe, new EYBD previews, giveaways and more.

National Pie Day is a celebration of pies that occurs annually in the United States on January 23. Being reminded of this had me pondering all things pie. If there is one thing that most pie lovers can agree upon it is that the crust is just as important, if not more crucial, to the success of a great pie.… read more

This week at Eat Your Books: The best chocolate chip cookie recipe, EYBD previews, cookbook giveaways and more!

The search for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe is a journey with no end. Even a mediocre homemade chocolate chip cookie is better than no cookie at all. So the less than perfect experiments in our quest will be met with anticipation (at least in my house). The best cookie recipe is subjective as some love thin and crispy… read more

While I've been busy with October's massive cookbook review, I managed to prepare a recap of Festival Week on The Great British Bake Off.
