Holiday Gift Guide – My Favorite Cookbooks

Nov 22, 2021 · 3 Comments

I absolutely love giving cookbooks as holiday gifts, probably because I love receiving them! Cookbooks allow you to try new things and discover recipes from around the world. In this holiday gift guide, I’m sharing some of my favorite cookbooks as well as a few gifts cookbook lovers would enjoy.

  1. Healthyish: A Cookbook with Seriously Satisfying, Truly Simple, Good-For-You (but not too Good-For-You) Recipes for Real Life – the title says it all!  
  2. Better Homes and Garden 17th edition New Cook Book – I saw a magazine article all about the additions of this edition, and I cannot wait to dive in!
  3. Cookbook holder – the best part of this cool gift?!  It has measurements and equivalents on it!
  4. The Pretty Dish – by Jessica Merchant.  This book is so beautiful to look at, which makes it even more fun to cook with.
  5. Fast and Easy Five-Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook For Busy People  – this is obviously my favorite, written by yours truly!
  6. Feeding the Whole Family – by Cynthia Lair.  This is a must-have book if you have kids.  Each recipe has variations to please even the pickiest of eaters. 
  7. 100% Real: 100 Insanely Good Recipes for Clean Food Made Fresh by Sam Talbot.  I love so many of the recipes in this book (like these ham and brie crostini).
  8. Food Swings: 125+ recipes to enjoy your life of virtue and vice by Jessica Seinfeld, the best chocolate cake you’ll ever make is from her cookbook!
  9. SkinnyTaste One and Done –  by Gina Homolka, you guys, I LOVE this cookbook and it would make a fantastic gift (these carne asada fries and my favorite instant pot spaghetti are from the book!)
  10. Baby Food Maker cookbook – my second cookbook that I love so much; perfect for the new Mom on your list!
  11. Scandinavian Gatherings – I’ve gotten this book as a gift for a few people on my list.  It just has so many great tidbits and gives me a general feeling of warm and cozy.
  12. Magnolia Table – this cookbook is by Joanna Gaines and is filled with delicious dishes!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
