Do you know someone who loves baking? How about a coffee
fanatic? Here are two books that are ideal for holiday gift giving.
For your favorite baker – Holiday Cookies
contains prize winning family recipes from the Chicago Tribune. These recipes
are from home readers who submit them into the Chicago Tribune Holiday Cookies
Contest. Each of these tried and true family recipes are lovingly described as
to why the cookie is special. The recipes are mouthwatering, and the stories
are touching! This is a joy to read as well as being a cookie cookbook.
Inside Holiday Cookies:
Simple Drop Cookies
Sugar & Spice
Fruit & Nut Treats
Chocolate Delights
Sandwich Cookies
Brownies & Bars
I love the many full color photographs! Not all the recipes
have photos, but those that do are beautiful! There is a very enticing recipe
for Eggnog Cookies I can’t wait to
make for our Christmas party. The Snowflake
Sugar Cookies are a work of art! Christmas
Rocks is a fruitcake type of cookie that dates to the 1940’s. Lots of
history and family traditions are found throughout this gem of a cookbook. The chocolate
section will have any chocolate lover drooling.
Set this book in a basket of cookie ingredients for a lovely
bakers gift!

For coffee lovers, check out the title Craft Coffee.
As a coffee drinker, I found the information very comprehensive. I have learned
a lot from this book. Simple tips as well as ways to choose beans, equipment,
ideal ratios and much more are included to make the best coffee you can at
home! Making craft coffee is a manual type of process and there is not much
included about using electric coffee makers.
This is more for those choosing
coffee presses and manual drip brewing. The details and information is very
well written by a coffee enthusiast! One tip I know I will be using forever is
rinsing my paper filters before each use. I never noticed the paper taste
really affected my coffee until I started using this tip. I found the book
informative and it made me want to try a different way to brew! There are no photos,
but they have included many illustrations.
Add Craft Coffee to your gift giving list for any coffee
lover.
