Welcome to the Book Review Linky Party, a sharing link-up for books! We are so happy that books are once again, back in fashion! And a great way to keep them front and center is to share a review of what you have read, if and how you enjoyed it and if you would recommend the book to a friend! Oh and a story or two of how you came to own or stumbled upon the book would also be fun...
The Book Review Linky will start each Wednesday at 12AM MST
and will run Wednesday through Tuesday of the following week. It is hosted with a full link-up at Homemade On A Weeknight! After linking do be sure to take a look at some of the other reviews. You just might find your next good read...plus it is just good fun to support other readers and bloggers. Reading, like travel is the one area where you can and will spend money and yet, you are much richer after doing so!
I am so happy to be a part of this weekly event!
Reading has always been something I have enjoyed. First as a child visiting the library each week (hello Little House books!), then as a parent and grandparent (Good Night Moon!) and always as a cook in my own kitchen. Cookbooks in particular have played a large part in recipe development and as a means to widen my own limited food horizons! While I might not get to Spain or Germany, through a recipe, I can cook the foods enjoyed there! Not to mention learning how to knit, fix a leaking pipe, or even plant a garden, because books can be a large part of our own, journey of a lifetime!
What am I sharing this week?
The GOOD STUFF COOKBOOK

This book is the second cook book I have and use for making homemade everything! And while I don't at this time make everything in our pantry and kitchen, I could if I wanted to! Ms. Whitty is the authority I usually turn to for how to make condiments, mustards, spice blends and really delicious food. She tackles everything with style and great flavor.
I immediately remembered my own mom's red can of ground bay leaves when I thumbed through this book before purchase. And have since gone on to yes buy the book, but also make my own Ground Bay Leaves. Having a jar around is a great convenience by the way.
My other love of books such as The Good Stuff is because when you need something delicious for a gift, you can rest assured that what you find in this book as well as her other cook book, Better Than Store Bought will be not only delicious, but the recipe is also trustworthy. And in the mean while between those gifts of food from your kitchen, you have all the delicious flavor of the world available to you. To make and enjoy in your own kitchen, for everyone that sits around your table. In my mind those are who I cook for.
Meet your book nook crew aka the Librarians!
