Food Blogger Cookbook Swap

Hiya!


































I recently participated in a Food Blogger Cookbook Swap, hosted by Alyssa of Everyday Maven and Faith of An Edible Mosaic. I've told you about my love of hoarding collecting cookbooks, right? 

Well the idea behind the group is for bloggers to swap things... we've swapped props before. And now we're swapping cookbooks. Why not share a gently-used beloved cookbook with another dear food-loving soul?? Or you could send a brand new cookbook. You send a cookbook and receive a cookbook in return. Of course I had to jump all over that!!!

I received 2 cookbooks from Mary at Sifting Focus! She's from KY like my family. Just try to go to her blog and not leave drooling. Seriously. Mary sent me 2 cookbooks: The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper by Lynne Rossetto Kasper and Sally Swift + the Gather Journal with seasonal recipes for fall and winter. 

How To Eat Supper is not just about supper. It has small plates, breakfast recipes, sides, and sweets too! I've got my eye on that Supper Tart of Red Onions, Greens, and Grapes + those deviled eggs (both pictured above) but also Wine-Braised Carrots with Fried Sage Leaves, Luxury Scrambled Eggs, and more. The cookbook also gives different variations on the recipes included.... not a fan of Hoisin Noodles? Well how about some Hoisin-Scallion Fried Rice with Egg? I also really appreciated the little cooking tips throughout, like how to know if fish is fresh, brining tips, and more. I already bought the ingredients for a fancy sorbet too. If all goes well, that'll be on the blog soon :)

The Gather Journal is a soft cover cookbook with recipes I'm eyeing like Baked Pasta Hive, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and that Herby Souffle pictured above. I really hit the jackpot here with not one, but two cookbooks. Both of which I'll be using soon and very soon. Like tomorrow soon.

I sent Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook to Stefani at Cupcake Project. Be sure to check out her post and some muffins she made from the cookbook.

Thanks, Mary. I LOVE the cookbooks and can't wait to get cookin. And now I've got a new blog to follow too!

I know you wanna join in the Food Blogger Swaps too. Head on over so you'll be in the loop when it's time for another swap  :)
