friday links + giveaway!

Happy Friday!
I was asked to review The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Baking cookbook and immediately said 'yes'!
It's a great cookbook, recipes by Ken Haedrich, featuring 118 recipes, baking tips, time-saving advice, step-by-step tips for easy preparation, and beautiful color photos. Cookbook categories include: breakfast baking; quick bread; cookies, bars; sweet pies; crisps, cobblers; cakes for every occasion.
Ken Haedrich developed and personally tested these recipes for Everyday Baking.
Haedrich is a winner of the Julia Child Cookbook Award and author of 11 cookbooks, including Pie, which was named one of the best baking books of the past 25 years by Cooking Light magazine.
If you go to their website, there is a free recipe download.

They sent me two copies: one for me and one for a friend.
I'd rather give one away.

    All the healthy recipes look good but I must admit my eyes went straight to the biscoff gooey butter cake, oh my it looks so good. And really anything with the words; biscoff, gooey, butter or cake has to be good right? emryglenn@yahoo

    I have heard of them and maybe even seen one at a bookstore. My impression always was that they are great recipes, using more ingredients that one would normally have on hand. I have never owned one but would sure like to!
