Here at The Gastronomer's Bookshelf we've compiled bucketloads of new books to help you fill out that gift-list (and maybe find a few titles you'd want to keep for yourself!). Many of these are novel or noteworthy, while some are just titles we know will be popular gifts. We'll be featuring these books over the next month. This week we start with pastry, baking, and Christmas-related titles for you to get a head start on all the seasonal treats you might want to make.]]> http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/4165_year-end-countdown-baking-and-christmas-cookbooks/feed 0 http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/3989_new-release-canal-house-cooking-volume-no-2-fall-and-holiday http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/3989_new-release-canal-house-cooking-volume-no-2-fall-and-holiday#comments Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:03:14 +0000 Christopher Hirsheimer http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/?p=3989 Canal House Cooking Volume N°2, Fall & Holiday is a collection of recipes we cook for ourselves and our friends and families throughout this wonderful season.

From cover to cover this is an attractive book, with well laid out pages, clear and easy to read text and nice sharp images to delight the eye and stimulate the taste buds. The prize winning cooks are women, men and children of all ages and mostly from towns and farming communities close to particular show venues. The recipes range from the humble tomato sauce, various preserves, jams and jellies, through baked goods from biscuits to sponge cakes and a State Competition winning entry of a rich dark fruit cake.]]> http://www.thegastronomersbookshelf.com/712_the-blue-ribbon-cookbook-liz-harfull-2008-au-review/feed 0
