Simple, No-Fuss Recipes and Ideas Make Newest Six Sisters' Stuff Cookbook a Must for Every Season (with a Giveaway!)
7:05 AM

Although I get most of my recipes online these days, I still love flipping through old-school print cookbooks. It's fun to explore the culinary possibilities inside their pages, marvel at the drool-worthy food photos, and imagine the ooohhs and aaahhs such delights are certain to elicit. Who cares if I never actually make any of the recipes? It's a joy just to think about making them!
Celebrate Every Season, the sisters' newest cookbook, is another fun one. As its title suggests, the collection is organized by month and focuses on traditional U.S. holiday/seasonal cuisine. There's a variety of offerings, including snacks, desserts, non-alcoholic drinks, appetizers, etc. At the end of each month/chapter is a section called "Traditions," which gives additional suggestions for fun ways to celebrate the season. These include craft/gift ideas, recipes (food and non-food), party tips, and more. I haven't had the time to try any of the recipes yet, but I've definitely got my eye on some (I'm looking at you, Christmas Tree Brownies!).
If you haven't quite gotten the picture yet, let me just lay it out for you: This is a thick, beautiful cookbook that's bursting with awesome. You definitely want to snag yourself a copy. It would also make a lovely Christmas or birthday gift for any home cook who digs simple, tasty meals. What a grand coincidence! It just so happens that I have an extra copy to give away, courtesy of the lovelies at Shadow Mountain. I'm even willing to brave the post office in December to get it to the winner by Christmas, so be sure to enter the contest. See the Rafflecopter below for details.
(Readalikes: The Six Sisters have published five other cookbooks, all of which should be available wherever books are sold. Also, be sure to subscribe to their website for lots of free recipes and more.)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
To the FTC, with love: I received two finished copies (one to keep, one to give away) of Celebrate Every Season from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain. Thank you!

I do enjoy large, glossy pictures in real cookbooks. Those brownies look good.
ReplyDeleteI make laktes and apple cake during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI collect cookbooks. They speak to my soul. Maybe it’s the beautiful pictures of food (I love to cook and EAT!)
ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE fan of the Six Sisters Stuff! HUGE! I have one of their earlier cookbooks. They were giving it away free with a Deseret Book Platinum Membership - I signed up JUST for the cookbook! Ha!
I like the Six Sisters' Cookbooks...probably because none of their recipes are too intimidating or hard to make. :D
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of the Six Sisters recipes online and they look great. I have a fancy jello dish that I make for Christmas dinner that we ate while I was growing up so it's actually my mother's recipe. Everyone loves it! Thanks for the giveaway, Susan!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy reading through cookbooks and getting ideas for new recipes. Thanks!! Pam
ReplyDeleteThis cookbook looks great. I love making Peanut Clusters, we used to make them with my grandmother so I have many fun memories of making them during the holidays.
