Friday's Five: New Cookbooks

There seems to be a mad rush of cookbooks being released this fall and I for one want them all. 

Jenny is a blogger with a blog of the same title.  She and her husband, Andy,  cook dinner for their family every night. 

This cookbook goes into the simple strategies and common sense, Jenny uses on how to break down dinner—the food, the timing, the anxiety, from prep to cleanup—so that her family could enjoy good food, time to unwind, and simply be together.

This books is all about cookies, cakes and candies.  Lots of love, fun and color line the pages.

Another blogger turned cookbook writer, Alice Currah knows that the food we share with the people we love is more than just what we eat. Whether it's a leisurely weekend morning coffee cake, a birthday banana cream pie, chocolate chip cookies after a well-played soccer game, or a refreshing strawberry lemonade at a summer backyard barbecue, life's simplest moments can create the most meaningful family memories.  

Create your own delicious memories all through the year with 100 easy-to-make—and many all-new—recipes, organized by occasion and captured in full-color photographs to celebrate your own "life happenings."

 

Food blogger Lindsay Landis has invented the perfect cookie dough. It tastes great. It’s egg free (and thus safe to eat raw). You can whip it up in minutes. And, best of all, you can use it to make dozens of delicious cookie dough creations, from cakes, custards, and pies to candies, brownies, and even granola bars.

Have heard of the Smitten Kitchen blog?  Of course you have.  Deb Perelman loves to cook. She isn’t a chef or a restaurant owner—she’s never even waitressed. Cooking in her tiny Manhattan kitchen was, at least at first, for special occasions—and, too often, an unnecessarily daunting venture. Deb found herself overwhelmed by the number of recipes available to her. Have you ever searched for the perfect birthday cake on Google?

Her award-winning blog is based on the premise that cooking should be a pleasure, and that the results of your labor can—and should—be delicious . . .  every time. Deb is a firm believer that there are no bad cooks, just bad recipes.
