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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mozza Cookbook: Recipes from Los Angeles’s Favorite Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

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.
