The Minnesota Book Award Finalists were announced earlier this month, so I would like to highlight a few of them that will be available at the library. The Minnesota Book Awards are annual awards presented for the best books by Minnesota authors that honor Minnesota stories. You can be sure all of them are worthy of a look even if they don’t win the top prize.
In the General Nonfiction category is “100 Cookies: The Baking Book for Every Kitchen, with Classic Cookies, Novel Treats, Brownies, Bars and More” by Sarah Kiefer (641.8654 Kieffer). This beautiful cookbook was also nominated for a 2020 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Cookbooks! If you love baking cookies, you will want to take a look at this one, you can never have enough cookie recipes!

Who could have predicted what this year would bring? It s been a tough 365 days for everyone some more than others but one of the things that s brought joy to many of us is the opportunity to find our way back into the kitchen.
During this holiday season, I truly believe that one of the most thoughtful gifts is a cookbook that s been chosen based on the interests of the intended recipient, such as their big culinary dreams, their current eating patterns, their favorite flavors or the ways in which they want to grow in the New Year.
