Sandra K. Nissenberg
Adams Media Corporation, 2002
A very kid-friendly cookbook!
We have had this cookbook for about a year and have used it quite a bit when planning weekly menus. The recipes don't have too many ingredients and they are very kid-friendly. My son is 9 years-old and he loves to make the double chocolate chip cookies. We like everything we have cooked from this book, and it is good when you are trying to increase the number of items a fussy eater will ...

Super Cheese
This kit helped us make super delicious cheeses. The mozzarella was excellent, so was the ricotta. We are experimenting with american cheese right now. Next will be cheddar. My entire family has enjoyed learning about the making of cheeses as well as the sampling of our efforts.

Cherry Cheesecake Murder (Hannah Swensen Mysteries)52 reviews
Joanne Fluke
Kensington, 2007
Exceptional
I purchased the book because I enjoyed the Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swenson Mysteries) and Sugar Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen Holiday Mysteries) by the same author.
This book, like the other two I've read, is a delightful depiction of Minnesota as it's often viewed by others. The nurses I worked with in New York City knew exactly one thing about Minnesota, it's COLD!! The ...

The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes92 reviews
Jo Stepaniak
Book Publishing Company (TN), 2003
My new favorite cookbook!
I love this book! I usually get a cookbook, make a few recipes, and set it aside, never to be used again. But The Uncheese Cookbook is different. I've made at least one delicious recipe per week since I bought it. My girlfriend and I especially love the Chedda Soup with cauliflower and the Potato Chowder. The Nacho Cheez sauce is also wonderful. I highly recommend this book to all vegans, lactose ...

I Am the Cheese (Readers Circle) 288 reviews
Robert Cormier
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007
Classic Story with a Shocker Conclusion
I recently read this book for the second time, and I liked it even more than when I was a kid. It's about a boy who takes a bicycle road trip to see his dad in nearby Vermont. The story shifts back and forth between the bicycle journey and his journey with a counselor to discover the truth about his past. Both journeys come to crashing climaxes. There are some loose threads that you will wonder ...

The Cheese and the Worms: The Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller17 reviews
Carlo Ginzburg
The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992
Microhistory of the masses
Borne of the microhistory genre, "The Cheese and the Worms" provides a glimpse into the life of a miller in medieval Italy. No ordinary miller is 'Menocchio', however, as he is inquisitioned for his radical religious philosophies. In a time and place where Catholicism was undoubtedly the religion of Europe, Menocchio harbored unique ideas about religious doctrine, the teachings of the Catholic ...

Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best10 reviews
Max Mccalman, David Gibbons
Clarkson Potter, 2005
Cheese Maven's Choice
Cheese is not only my profession, it is my passion. I have a large collection of books about cheese. "Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best" is an excellent reference, and the perfect complement to McCalman's "The Cheese Plate." Although less comprehensive than the classic "Cheese Primer" by Steven Jenkins, I find McCalman's guide, with its luscious photos, truely a "connoisseur's ...

holy cow, goat, and sheep!
Working in the specialty department of whole foods market, and having tasted my way through a hundred cheeses, i needed to know more! this book is great-- more about cheese than you would ever want or need to know. I picked this book because it is the reference book we use at work, and it explained way more different cheeses than any 5 books combined. the author is very opinionated--i ...

Great book, understandable and applicable
As an English teacher, I was looking for a good nonfiction book to assign to my 10th grade students. I'm very happy I found this book! The allegory used and the lessons taught are fantastic for high school students. I would recommend this for students of all backgrounds in all situations. There is always something to be learned.

Who Moved My Cheese?21 reviews
Spencer Johnson
Vermilion, 2002
Very easy to read and understand
I have heard about this book for many years but somehow never read it. I went through it recently and think it's a very easy-to-read book. The idea the author wants to express is straightforward and inspirational. It's a tiny story so I finish the book in very short time. But the idea the book talked about remains very clear in my mind. I should say that means the author really did a good job.

Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart22 reviews
Jim Dawson
Ten Speed Press, 1999
What a Piece of Work is Man!
There is a line in an Eddie Murphy stand up routine from the 80's where he says "It's the fart game son you'll play it one day". I picked up this book because frankly I am a gaseous girl, who grew up playing the fart game in my house. My father used to lock the windows to our station wagon and made us guess what he had for breakfast, my sisters used to hold me down and poot in my face, we all did ...
