Are you done shopping? I have one more present to make and one more to buy. (I'm not whittling legos.)
We've really been enjoying Kathy Hester's new cookbook, The Vegan Slow Cooker, lately, and I was thinking that a thrift store crockpot and this book would make such a nice little gift set. That, of course, got me to thinking about all the other cookbooks I love and how to turn them into tidy little packages, like -
- Hannah's beautiful new book, Vegan Desserts: Sumptuous Sweets for Every Season
and silicone baking mats
or a pastry bag
or a classic cookie cutter
or a madeleine pan
, actually this one could be more a lavish baking basket than a humble pair, oh but packed into a baking pan or big ol' mixing bowl rather than a basket
- Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
(or the whole grain version
, but I haven't had a chance to check that one out) and a dough bucket
- Cook Food
and a cast iron skillet
(perfect for someone just figuring out how to feed themselves)
- Clean Food
and a bottle of ume plum vinegar
(for the healthy-inclined)
- Ratio
and a kitchen scale
(for the scientific-minded, or someone wanting to move beyond recipes)
What else? What cookbook pairings would you suggest?
