    Wow this is an awesome gift guide!! Especially all of those books, I am a cookbook hoarder!!

  4. You always have the best gift guides! There are so many of these cookbooks that I want to add to my collection… I have At Home In The Whole Food Kitchen, and it’s one of the best cookbooks I have! Such ingredient intelligence. I would love to have the Oh She Glows cookbook, Plenty More, all the beautiful vegetable books, and the French cooking ones! Basically, everything.

  5. Such a nice compilation! Already have a couple of these, can’t wait to get my hands on more! xx

    Thanks so much for including my cookbook!
    I have several of those books in my collection, and a few on my holiday list! Just recently received Plenty More…it’s inspiring for sure.

        Thanks Jeanine! Love your blog. xo

  7. I just sent this link to my husband, in case he’s still wondering what to get me for Christmas. A girl can only hope! I particularly would love to have “At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen” and “Sunday Suppers.”

  8. What a great selection of cookbooks. I am patiently (not really) waiting for my copy of Plenty More to arrive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such beautiful food before. When I was looking through the book I either had an orgasam or pee’d a little. After 40 it’s sometimes hard to tell. Ha,ha

  9. ooh i have sunday suppers and love pouring over it!
    the cocktail books look especially tempting because cocktails are something i want to get into more!

    xoxo
    thanks for including me!

  10. yay! Thanks for the roundup because some of these are not on the Amazon wish list…yet. I would add Homemade Decadence by Joy the Baker and also Sheet Pan Suppers by Molly Gilbert.

  11. What a great selection of books! There’s so many I want to explore and definitely some new ones I didn’t know about.

    The cookbook junkie says thank you and yippee. I’m addicted to cookbooks and my guy? doesn’t help…he’s worse than I am. Torture me if you must but I will never reveal just how many we own. Merry Christmas to me.
