Taste of Home is having its popular $5 book sale now through today, February 27. Hundreds of different titles are $5 each. Spend $20+ and use the code LS108 at checkout to get free shipping. Many of the books retail for $24.99 each, which is an 80% savings.
As I browsed the titles I saw intriguing cookbooks like Healthy Cooking Annual Recipes 2010 or Everyday Slow Cooker and One Dish Dinners (this one’s for me!) but other books that I know certain family members of mine would love.
The Family Handyman Home Improvement Book 2010 or The Family Handyman Home Improvement Book 2009 (I’ll get one of these and set it aside for Father’s Day)
The Best of Birds & Blooms 2007 or The Best of Birds & Blooms 2010 (I can’t say who I know that might like this, because they could be reading this blog post. But, she was there the day I was born and was married to my dad)
I’d encourage you to dust off your “gifts I need to buy this year” list and consider these cookbooks for birthday, housewarming or bridal shower gifts. Personally, I do most everything on the internet, but I have a handful of trusty cookbooks that I prefer over using online recipes (even today I pulled out a crockpot cookbook and found a meatloaf recipe to use for dinner tonight. Thanks to my dear friend, Kristine, for having given me the cookbook years ago).
We’ve learned through past sales that quantities of each title are limited and the more timeless, popular, robust books will likely sell out.
Now that I think about it, almost every cookbook I have, sans one, I’ve gotten as gifts. I guess they are things I love to have, but don’t always want to buy for myself. Have you ever been given a cookbook that you cherish?

About Carrie Rocha
I’ve received many cookbooks as gifts. The Taste of Home books are fantastic. However, I find I still love the “church lady” cookbooks the best. They have all of the recipes I grew up with in a rural community where there was a bake sale, church dinner or potluck almost every week. These are tried and true recipes that I cherish. (I guess I’m a little nostalgic!) Whenever the opportunity arises, I’m always more than happy to share a recipe or two. And I always make sure to have several submissions for the church cookbook. I keep all of my family favorites in a large recipe box so that they are all in one place and I can pass them on to my girls when they are on their own. (Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without baking grandma’s sugar cookies or making the other grandma’s ham balls.)
