FTC FYI: I received a review copy from the author that did not affect my review.
Today it is my privilege to present to you The 2011 Book Blogger’s Cookbook by Christy Dorrity.
Great books, bloggers, and recipes meet in this fresh and unique cookbook that helps you experience books, not just read them.
Books were selected from the author’s book review blog and paired with delectable recipes like “Fairy Touched Calico Brownies” from the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull, “7-Day Layer Dip” from Lauren Oliver’s Before I Fall, and “I Hate Chocolate Cake” from Amanda Hocking’s Switched. Mouthwatering photos complement every recipe.
The 2011 Book Blogger’s Cookbook includes a foreword by Amanda Hocking, author of the USA Today Bestselling Trylle Trilogy and showcases over seventy reviews with links to book review blogs and author websites.
Whether you’re a food lover, an avid reader or a book blogger, there’s something for you in The 2011 Book Blogger’s Cookbook.
If you like eating, this cookbook is for you. If you like reading, this cookbook is for you. If you like eating WHILE reading, this cookbook is definitely for you. And the fact that it’s for the Kindle means no leaving greasy fingerprints on the pages while cooking or eating all this yummy food.
Don’t have a Kindle? Christy can fix that for you.

After reading through this cookbook (and drooling over the pictures of mouth-watering meals, desserts, and more) I not only added several new books to my to-read list, I also discovered some great book bloggers through their review blurbs.
When Christy asked if I would like to be a part of The 2011 Book Blogger’s Cookbook, I was honored. I have had the opportunity to meet Christy in person. Not only is she sweet, she’s gorgeous, too.
See what I mean? I’ll tell you how she keeps her figure – Irish dancing. After eating all of these delicious recipes, I’m going to have to start Irish dancing, too.
I know which recipe I want to make first (and the one that is most likely to send me to Irish dancing class). It also happens to be paired with the book that has *ahem* my review blurb for Imprints by Rachel Ann Nunes listed with it. But before you leave to purchase your copy of The 2011 Book Blogger’s Cookbook (only 99 cents right now!) check out these cookies that even Autumn Rain would eat.

Organic Imprint Cookies
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or clarified butter
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon all-natural cornstarch or arrowroot
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Zest of one orange
Jam or preserves (preferably fruit sweetened)
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the warm, melted coconut oil over the honey and whisk in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl combine the flour, oats, cornstarch or arrowroot, sea salt, baking soda, and orange zest. Add the flour mixture to the honey mixture, stirring until just combined. Let the dough sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir once or twice again; the dough should be stiff.
Roll the dough into balls, one teaspoonful at a time, and place an inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. The cookies will spread. Use a pinky finger or the back of a very tiny spoon to make a well in the top of each ball of dough. Fill each well to the top with 1/8 teaspoon of jam.
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the bottom and edges of the cookies are just golden.
Makes two dozen tiny cookies.
