Real Food Christmas Basket: Great for the last minute gift idea are e-cookbooks by some wonderful real foodies

There are plenty of amazing bloggers out there and many have written some excellent cookbooks filled with more than just recipes, but also knowledgeable information for how to feed our bodies well. If you are still looking for a last minute gift for a real foodie or you want to introduce someone to a real food diet, consider these cookbooks.

The books I have listed are all printable as e-cookbooks, so if you have a printer at home you have an easy gift in a matter of just a couple of minutes. Katie from Kitchen Stewardship also shared the great ideas of giving e-cookbooks on a thumb drive (for the gift that keeps giving) or on a disk (a perfect stocking stuffer).

Click on the title of the cookbooks to go to their website and read a much more thorough overview of what each is about.

Review: Fresh, Nourishing Salads for All Seasons by Kimberly Harris

I recently had an opportunity to check out Kimberly Harris' new cookbook Fresh - Nourishing Salads for All Seasons.

This cookbook was well thought out and obviously put together with care. With an excellent introduction that covers the ingredients the recipes use and other helpful suggestions and ideas in creating delicious salads in your home, you start out on the right foot. As you head into the cookbook, there are enticing photos to give you an idea of what your end results will be and to wet your appetite. I'm personally a huge photo fan in cookbooks. Except for a couple of essential cookbooks that cover a full spectrum of great recipes from very reputable people, for me a cookbook sells itself through it's pictures. A great picture will give me a far great desire to try a new dish, especially one with ingredients I'm not accustomed to using.
