Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis, a review
I decided to keep going with my reviews of new(ish) cookbooks. Obviously, I’m still rolling through those published in 2023. I’m not sure the featured book today made any “best of” lists, but it should have. I laughed out loud from page one. I love nostalgia and I love retro and I love a good…
100 Morning Treats by Sarah Kieffer, a review
This may be it, dear reader…this might be the very last “best of” cookbook review. Obviously, 2024 is drawing nigh. It’s been a cool ride.

Tenderheart by Hetty Lui McKinnon, a review
I’m fast and furiously trying to finish up 2023 strong with my “best of” cookbook reviews. Today’s feature is a massive book but well worth the read—Tenderheart by Hetty Lui McKinnon. And the recipes? They sound phenomenal. About the book: ONE OF BON APPETIT‘S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The acclaimed author of To Asia, With Love explores…
Sweet Enough by Allison Roman, a review
I’m cutting it close and hope to post a new review everyday until the end of the year. My goal of reviewing some of the best cookbooks of 2023 has been haphazard at best but I vow to finish strong! Today’s hasty review is of Sweet Enough by Alison Roman. About the book: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER…
Yogurt and Whey by Homa Dashtaki, a review
I’m still working my way through some of the best cookbooks of 2023 (at least according to Bon Appetit). Most of my reviews came from a massive library check-out. My bad that I requested all the books at once. I literally was walking out of the library balancing eight massive cookbooks. (When did they do away with the…
Salad Seasons by Sheela Prakash, a review
I’m still working my way through some of the best cookbooks of 2023 (at least according to Bon Appetit). Salad Seasons by Sheela Prakash is next on the list. About the book: Create simple yet show stopping salads that will make them the perpetual star at your table. With a focus on approachable, flexible recipes that are…
A Cookie a Day for Advent, a holiday cookbook review
A little departure today from my “Best of 2023” cookbook reviews (and to kick off the holiday season)… Every year, I’ve mailed an advent calendar to our nieces in Colorado. I’m honestly not sure when I started but the eldest is a senior in high school this year so I’m guessing it’s been at least…
Love is a Pink Cake by Claire Ptak, a review
Harry & Megan may have made Ptak more famous, but her cookbook is worthy of a perusal. I did not make a pink cake but I did try her Big Sur Cookies.
The Everlasting Meal Cookbook by Tamar Adler
This bible for leftovers is amazing. I whipped up some of the most delicious cookies I’ve ever made with the final bits of granola in our jar. There will never be languishing leftovers in my refrigerator again!
