Cookbooks by Food Bloggers Will Make Great Christmas Gifts for Serious Cooks

If you're been paying attention to food blogs the last few years, you've probably noticed more and more food bloggers are writing cookbooks. I've long ago realized that I can't possibly buy every food blogger's cookbook or write about it on my blog, but recently I had the thought that maybe I could support my fellow food bloggers by maintaining a list of their books. This post will get added to the cookbooks section in the left sidebar of the blog (below An Ever-Growing List of Some of the Cookbooks Kalyn is Using) and I'll do my best to keep up with adding new books as I hear about them.

Probably the best way to tell whether you'd like a particular blogger's cookbook is to visit the blog and see how you like the writer's style and the type of recipes they focus on. Even if you don't buy a cookbook, you just may end up discovering a few new blogs to follow!

(Full disclosure: If you follow the Amazon link and buy one of the books, not only does it help that blogger, but Kalyn's Kitchen does earn a few cents on the dollar for each purchase. Thanks!)

Who have I missed? I'm sure I couldn't put together a list like this without missing a few food blogger's cookbooks! If you know of a hardbound or paperback cookbook written by a food blogger that I missed please feel free to remind me in the comments! (I'm going to limit this list to commercially published books, but people with self-published books or e-books are welcome to leave those links in the comments.)
