New Favorites for New Cooks
By Carolyn Federman
A Parent / Picky-Kid Friendly Cookbook!
This is a perfect cooking book for my under 10 year old daughter and I to use together. My children are pretty picky, and these recipes I absolutely approve of! They are exciting enough to keep my attention and simple enough to keep my daughter interested.
Our faves so far have been the Sweet and Salty Candied Walnuts, Piece-Of-Cake Lemon Cake, and Spring Pasta with Butter Sauce. These particular recipes are the more simpler of a vast array of other more adventurous yet still kid friendly recipes that the author has shared in this book.
Here are a couple snaps we took just for fun….
A Beautiful, Simple and LOVELY lemon cake!
Piece-Of-Cake Lemon Cake
There are LOTS of fun recipes in this cookbook to share with family and friends and I highly recommend it!

Hot for Food
VEGAN COMFORT FOOD CLASSICS:
101 Recipes to Feed Your Face
Author: Lauren Toyota
I love the feel and weight of this book…I know I know…but what about INSIDE of the book! It’s pretty impressive, I’ll start with that!
The book takes us through badass brunch faves first, then straight to finger foods…(yep, they’ve tragically reeled me in already!!!), then the chapters head on over to veggie sides and salads, hearty soups, stacked sandwiches, oodles of noodles, main events, sweet things and then BOOM, sauces….sigh….
HOT BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
OH MY MY MY MY MY! Even my vegan friends would recognize this as a major guilty pleasure! (This was sooooo freakin’ good!)
It took me a little while to prepare, simply because my favorite part about vegan cooking is playing with all the ingredients! REALLY! When I first added the TVP to water, it felt really cool…like grape nuts! It was fun watching it get spongy for the next 10 minutes!
The vegan cheese, herbs and other ingredients were split in a couple batches but mixed well in my trusty NutriBullet! The TVP mixture sauteed with onions, garlic and other spices smelled REALLY good-especially once I added that magical buffalo sauce!
To the left is the photo in the book. To the right is mine! WOOHOO-SCORE!
This makes a lot so be sure to share it with your friends! Otherwise, be prepared to freeze those leftovers!
This is the GREATEST vegan cookbook EVER! It’s on the decadent side at times, but hey, ya GOTTA have at least one in your cookbook collection, right? GET THIS ONE!!!!
Can’t wait to try other recipes in this book like the Baked Jalapeno Poppers, Filet-o-Tempeh Sandwich, and the Bean and Cheese Enchiladas Verdes!

The Pesto Cookbook
Author: Olwen Woodies
“Pesto is my obsession!” -Mychols 😀
This adorable author has created the most LOVELY cookbook here called, The PESTO Cookbook.
Through well thought out explanation, she takes us through the experience of enhancing and brightening flavors and variety – and with gloriously beautiful photos!
Colors and flavors indeed! This book was actually a LOT more than I expected, and SO…
I decided to try one out!
The beginning of a Rosemary Pesto romance!!!
ROSEMARY PESTO:
Soooooo incredibly good! Highly recommended on chicken or fish…or whatever! I served this with crackers, just to try it out. (I could eat this by the spoonful!)
As I continued reading on through this cookbook, it never once never lost my attention.
Not only were there an amazing variety of pesto sauces, but this cookbook also includes other recipes from salads and soups to fish and meats and even vegetarian dishes that can go with any of the pesto’s early on in the cooking book.
This cookbook gives some really fun and inspired ideas…and I’m sayin’ it again…dipping sauces!
This is a book that stays in my collection!!!
