Family, food, and Christmas music, movies, and reading are what I like most about Christmas, but the giving and receiving of gifts can be fun, too! I know Weekend Cooking fans are dying to know which books I received from my Christmas wish list and Cookbook Gift Ideas posts this year, so here you go!

Moosewood Restaurant Favorites

Not a foodie gift, but may be my first book of 2015:

To keep me caffeinated at work when I go back January 2nd:

Cute chef Christmas tree ornament tied to a gift from my mom-in-law:

It lights up!

And, maybe the most impressive food gift ever…homegrown popcorn, two varieties layered in a Mason jar, from my sister with gardening contributions from my brother-in-law:

First, I’m so impressed with your GF baking. WOW!!! Second, love that flat-bottom wok, and third, how cool is it to grow your own popcorn!

Your baking looks yummy and I love your new books look interesting. I keep meaning to try one of the Moosewood Restaurant books but haven’t yet. The homegrown popcorn looks so pretty in the jar! That’d be one I’d have a hard time using!

You’ve reminded me that I want to read The Luminaries! And wow–what fun cooking stuff. I still have one more Christmas to attend tonight (which I’m hoping to get the Le Creuset Dutch Oven I’ve been begging my mom for), but our microwave went out yesterday so a new microwave will end up being our gift to ourselves. Sigh.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Laurie!

I love Moosewood cookbooks! Even just to look at them! LOL BTW, speaking of gluten free, I discovered these great pastas that aren’t really pastas – they are from Explore Asia and seem like pasta but are made from stuff like mung beans or adzuki beans, etc. My husband can’t even tell it’s not pasta, although he thinks it’s “artisanal” pasta, like spinach fettucini – LOL

What lovely gifts! I want the salad on the cover of the Moosewood Restaurant cookbook!
