2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Cookbooks

How is the holiday shopping going? Mine has been online shopping so far.  I might have managed a few little things for myself too!  I have yet to brave the malls. I love giving books for the holidays, especially cookbooks as gifts.  Probably because I love to receive them too!

I have had to put myself on a cookbook diet.  I have a huge bookcase filled with treasured cookbooks.  I have one of the early Betty Crocker cookbooks and also an early Better Homes and Garden cookbook.  They are a constant source of cooking inspiration for me.  So even on a diet there is room for a little splurge!

Here are a few books that are on my list for this year and to celebrate I’m giving away one cookbook of your choice to the winner.

To enter leave a comment sharing your favorite cookbook and which one you would like to get.

I will be selecting a winner Friday morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mozza

I have been waiting for this book to come out and bought it myself a few weeks back. The food at both Pizzeria Mozza and Osteria Mozza is amazing and they just opened here in Orange County.  I am a huge fan of Nancy Silverton’s cooking and have enjoyed the recipes I have made so far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Push Up Pops

I met Courtney at the 2011 Dreamers Into Doers event last January.  I can’t wait for this book to come out – it looks so fun.  Push Up Pops have been a new favorite around here this year.  Pre-order for your friends and family now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Kathi when she was on my radio show this year. Her book is great for busy mom’s looking to for creative and practical ways for planning meals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homesick Texan

I met Lisa at the first Blog Her Food conference. I have followed her blog for a few years now.  She introduced me to delicious Hatch Chilies that I eagerly anticipate each year now.
