Food Blogger Cookbook Swap 2014

February 28, 2014 by Faith 29 Comments

Food Blogger Cookbook Swap

Nearly everyone I know is a cookbook collector.

It always starts innocently enough; maybe you found a book that was on sale for a song and couldn’t be missed, or maybe you had to buy your favorite chef’s cookbook(s). But then before you realized what was happening, you moved your entire collection into the spare room and bought a third new bookshelf to house it.

Sound familiar? Me too.

That’s why Alyssa from Everyday Maven and I decided to host the Food Blogger Cookbook Swap (sound familiar? We hosted a Food Blogger Prop Swap last year)…we all have at least one cookbook we’d be willing to part with, right?

The idea was that a food blogger would send one of his/her new or gently used cookbooks to another food blogger, and in return, he/she would receive a cookbook from another food blogger. Now the swapping is finished, and we can all enjoy our new (to us, anyway) cookbooks!

I was randomly paired with Anne from From My Sweet Heart. I sent her a signed copy of my cookbook, and I hope she enjoys it. I consider the recipes in it like family heirlooms, and I hope they grace Anne and her family’s table and maybe even become some of her their favorites. (Update: Someone who had signed up to participate ended up not being able to get a book sent out, so I was happy to send my cookbook to Jordan of I’m Gonna Cook That! as well. I hope she enjoys the book and gets use out of it for years to come.)

Everyone else was randomly paired, but Alyssa was paired with me because I was headed off to Kuwait and needed my book early. She sent me a dessert cookbook called Great Cakes, which has some really lovely cakes in it. I will probably be pulling it out again and again when I want to serve a special occasion cake for a birthday or during the holidays. Thank you, Alyssa!

As always, the swap has been such a fun event – and a huge thank-you to all who participated! Alyssa and I are thinking about hosting another swap, and we’re open to ideas. (Wouldn’t a spice swap be fun?!) If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments below, and if you’re interested in participating in our next swap, you can join our mailing list here!

    Hi Faith! Well, Alyssa sent you a wonderful book! I have Great Cakes and you will find every cake imaginable in that book. I hope you enjoy it! And thank you so much for a copy of An Edible Mosaic. You cannot know how thrilled I was to receive it. I’ve made one of your versions of rice pudding, and it was heavenly! I’m looking forward to cooking from it this weekend! And thanks to you and Alyssa for hosting this fabulous exchange. It’s really such a fun way to get to know our fellow bloggers. Looking forward to the next one!

    Thank you so much for providing me a copy of your cookbook, too. It is gorgeous, and I love the way it’s organized. I buy cookbooks I will never use, just to read like novels, but this is one I will definitely use a lot.

    I think a spice swap would be really fun! There’s a spice shop in Denver that I love and they have so many great blends I would love to share with everyone.

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
#ad If you're looking for an easy baking project t #ad If you're looking for an easy baking project that's perfect for spring, Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies are it! 🌿 These cakey vanilla-scented cookies are frosted with colorful buttercream and decorated with sprinkles. (Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
