Every year before Christmas arrives I get asked when the weather turns cold, so when are you baking those ginger cookies? No gentle hint about it, in life we prefer it if one ask the question straight out. Not sort of go about it in a roundabout way. So on the twenty first day of December the advent calendar said: Bake more cookies, wrap all the gifts. That is done, just one more to wrap. The tags everyone whom we could not meet because of the lockdown and the pandemic will be emailed to us, then printed and attached to the gifts. Our son and his wife was going to be with us this year, but alas that is not possible. We decided in September that it was safer to postpone our get together under one roof until next year.
While looking for something else, I took a few moments to page through a cookery book from 1904. This is a Christmas fruit cake with a star on top.
We bought books and we all have our favourites. When one is needed, we go down to the basement and fetch it. Do not have a dedicated bookshelf in the kitchen for them. What is your go to book for baking and cooking?
my usual go to cookbook is Betty Crocker the old edition from 1972
