Reviews

Great cookbook

"Excellent cookbook—very clear instructions and delicious recipes. I liked it so much that I gifted it to 3 friends. This is one cookbook you will use over and over."

The G. (5/5)

A wonderful gift to receive.

"Amazing Christmas cookbook. I’ve tried several of the recipes and they all turned out beautifully. Photos are great and accurate. I received this book as a gift a couple of years ago and I just bought this for my niece. I think she’ll love it as well."

Patricia (5/5)

Must-have staple

"I am in love with this bakebook. It includes literally every recipe from my childhood. I will display this as a coffee table book because it is so beautiful, but more importantly it is such a comprehensive collection of classics. I’ve already made three of the recipes (help!) and they were all to die for. This will be passed down to future generations, it’s that good."

LJC (5/5)

The only Christmas bake book you’ll ever need! 🎄✨🍪

"Honestly, if you’re looking for something that has every classic Christmas recipe you’ve ever tried look no further. This book is a catch all… That square that you tried four years ago at a Christmas bake sale? It’s in this book. You really like snickerdoodle's, but you want them thin crispy instead of fluffy?or maybe you want them fluffy one day and thin and crispy the next… Don’t worry both are in this book. Also includes of the best fudge recipes that I’ve ever made! Honestly, I’m gonna get fat this holiday season because I want to try each and every recipe!! 10 out of 10 would recommend PS. This would make an excellent gift for the baker in your life. :hands_heart|type_3:🎄🍪"

Heirloom Bake Book

"A lovely & nostalgic collection of holiday favourites that most of us can taste as we read the recipe. Beautiful illustrations and photos. Received the book at a Christmas party and the host had the actual Santa ornament that was illustrated in the book! This will be a treasured family heirloom."

Donna (5/5)

A Very Prairie Christmas Bakebook

"Love this author’s work and the style of her cookbooks. The photography is beautiful and I am in awe of her collection of vintage Pyrex! What I enjoy most are the stories and anecdotes that go along with each recipe."

PRAIRIE FOR KARLYNN JOHNSTON'S PREVIOUS BOOKS

Praise for Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky
Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky is beautiful in a completely organic way, a tribute to the years [Johnston] spent honing the craft of baking and photography, and to her quirky eye for gleaming kitsch. It’s a collection as honest and sincere as the author.”—NATIONAL POST

Praise for The Prairie Table
“Karlynn Johnston is truly a master class in working both sides of modern food culture.”—EDMONTON JOURNAL
Blogger and author KARLYNN JOHNSTON can usually be found at home taste-testing new recipes and cocktails in her home studio kitchen for her website, The Kitchen Magpie. When she’s not there, you can find her thrifting vintage Christmas decor, or working at her rural fixer-upper farmstead, Magpie Farm. Karlynn lives in Edmonton, Canada, with her husband and two children.
