For my 2020 year-end round up I opted to write about all the cookbooks of that year instead of picking just a few for a gift guide (likely why this is being posted in January -ha!). Summing up a whole year of cooking isn’t like choosing a “Best of” list either, I find myself Continue reading “The Eatworthy Books of 2020”
