We spent the weekend running errands and fussing with the chicken yard in preparation for the change in weather, and that's about it. . . This morning I was thinking that I needed to do a new post for The Kitchen Calls and what should it be? Well I came up with this idea.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it's rainy and beachy stormy out so I have decided that we need to bake...what book should we bake with? How about if we all have a hand in deciding which book will be awarded to the next. . . . . giveaway winner. Yes I know we just had one but I want a baking one before the Holidays.
I think I would go with the America's Test Kitchen Baking book.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe I look forward to making so much when it comes to the Thanksgiving holiday is the Pumpkin Crisp that I found while searching the internet shortly after I was married. It is so good that both my husband's family and my family request this instead of pumpkin pie and it is always the first dessert to be gone.
My families favorite is a Pumpkin Cobbler~ I would pick American's Test Kitchen although all of the books you choose look like winners Also wanted to let you know, I made the Cajun Chicken Pasta and we loved it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that baking illustrated cover. It's very 1950's looking.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Thanksgiving here so I don't have a favourite recipe for that. Does that mean I can't play?

One of my favorites for Thanksgiving is the Pumpkin Spice Balls I made for our family one year. I think America's Test Kitchen book looks interesting, and is the one I would pick.
ReplyDeletePrincess - I am sorry, I forgot about our friends outside of the US, you are welcome to join in also.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Thanksgiving baked good is pumpkin cheesecake and I would pick the America's Test Kitchen book because it's my go-to book for almost all my baking recipes.
ReplyDeleteKami - Thank you for your vote and since you are so lucky winning two other times and since you are my daughter and I know that you already have that book, that must mean that you are taking yourself out of this giveaway...thank you dear daughter.
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie definitely!!! In fact, I bought the ingredients just the other day 'cause I can't wait until Turkey Day. Baking Illustrated looks enticing. cheers, -susan
ReplyDeleteThe answer has to be pie, for I do love pie. Pumpkin Pie made from the pumpkins in our garden and an Apple pie for good measure. The Engineer bakes the best rolls from his Grammy's recipe, so good! I'm getting hungry!
ReplyDeleteI have the Baking Illustrated so...I'm going to say the last one because of the nice picture on the front.
Pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite to eat and to bake :-) And I vote for America's test kitchen, because I hear so many good things about that book.
ReplyDeleteYum, how do you find time to do all this fabulous cooking!
ReplyDeleteAmerica's Test Kitchen Baking...the chef would withhold kisses if I chose anything else!
ReplyDeleteThom and I make pumpkin pie together every year, and I look forward to that quite a bit.
I love the Baking Illustrated cover. Having an illustrator background,is not the best to pick a baking book, but I love to cook, especially holiday cooking and baking.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Thanksgiving baked good are old-fashioned rolls from the Good Housekeeping cookbook. My sister and I loved the rolls our grandfather made for holidays when we were kids, so we made it our goal in life to figure out some decent approximation of his recipe to make ourselves so we could have them whenever we wanted them. We eventually settled on the GH recipe and made them for our family Thanksgivings for several years before we became adults and started leading separate lives. I still make them every Thanksgiving! Yum...
ReplyDeleteI would choose the America's Test Kitchen cookbook out of the 4 illustrated above.
