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
