Some people collect coins, baseball cards, or comic books, but I collect cookbooks. I think most people who cook do. I read mine like regular books and not just for the recipes. I find sometimes I learn more from the introductions and glossaries than from the recipes themselves.
Here are my gift suggestions for the foodie in the family – great cookbooks in the dessert and sweets category:
![]() The Daily Cookie: 365 Tempting Treats for the Sweetest Year of Your LifeThis is my favorite of all of my picks because it’s so unique. The author, Anna Ginsberg, matches a recipe to every day of the year and then presents the reader with a tidbit of history for the day. It’s also a favorite because every recipe is presented with a full-color photograph. Anna is a self-taught baker and I love her down-to-earth style and easy recipes. Published by Andrews McMeel |
150 Best Donut Recipes: Fried or BakedFor doughnut lovers, this is a must-own cookbook. It’s written by George Gear, a former pastry chef for the Walt Disney company. George provides a step-by-step guide for the basic donut making process and then branches out in the recipes to bring in all kinds of flavors . Most of the recipes are fried, but there are a few baked varieties as well. I long for more photographs, but those that are there are great. The Blueberry and Green Tea are two I’d love to try.
