CARTWHEEL BOOKS, 2005

The mom in this story is one smart cookie, herself, teaching independence
I love this book because the mom is smart. She knows that if she explains everything to her little alligator, he won't really learn. So she allows him to go through a tough time while he figures out for himself the right thing to do. In the end she helps him prove to himself that he is as smart as she knows he is.

Very impressive...
I am very impressed with this cookbook. So far I've tried the popover recipe and the pound cake recipe. Both were wonderful, especially the popovers. I've been looking for a good popover recipe for years and I've finally found it. I'm thinking about the brioche recipe (I love brioche) next. The best think about the this book is that the recipes aren't simply recipes but rather explanations ...

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 ...

Best Cookie Recipe Book
This is the best cookie recipe book I have ever seen. Not only are all of the recipes amazing (I have made quite a few of them, and I trust all of Martha's recipes), but the front of the book has a picture cookie index. Its a BRILLIANT idea. All of the cookies have a photo with the name and page number and are divided into categories. This is a great tool when you are trying to figure out ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007

The only cookie decorating book you need!
I don't write reviews too often, but this book definitely moved me to write one. I have some time off after moving and wanted to teach myself a new skill, and my family loves sweets, so... cake/cookie decorating it is! Comparing to icing cakes, cookies are a breeze (at least to this novice.) The designs in this book are cute without being too twee, and are relatively easy to do. I made the ...

The Christmas Cookie Killer: A Fresh-Baked Mystery

Livia J. Washburn

NAL Trade, 2008

Yummy and most entertaining
Livia Washburn has won the Private Eye Writers of America award and the American Mystery award. She has been nominated for the Spur award (western novels). The first thing that will draw you to The Christmas Cookie Killer is the cover. It's delightful and begs potential readers to pick up the book. And I suspect that once the book is in the hands of said potential reader and they read the ...

Delightful Look at "Authentic" Food Culture
In The Fortune Cookies Chronicles (2008), Jennifer 8. Lee explores how dishes like these and Chinese food in general has "ceased to be ethnic" (19) and yet arguably and identifiably Chinese at the same. As one American military officer in Iraq noted, "What could be more American than beer and take-out Chinese?" (26). In order to understand how Chinese food can be both Chinese and American at the ...

HarperCollins, 2008

It's ok...
I was so excited when this book arrived. Let me first say, the illustrations are very cute and sweet. But as my husband and I read the book, our little one had no interest past the pictures. It's not little stories or thoughts of Christmas, it's like a very nice dictionary of good behavior. An example is that "Responsibility means putting away the cookie cutters...." not really what we were ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

the one and only recipe i tried was great!
i was given this book by a friend who believes it contains the "best ever" recipe for red velvet cake. i have made many and find them ironically either too oily or too dry. this one is quite good, i admit, albeit not the best ever. in any event, the cooking time was wrong! having done a considerable amount of baking myself, i knew i would not need to bake 3 9-inch cakes for 45 minutes. i set my ...

Nick Malgieri's Best Book Yet
I'm a bit of a cookbook geek with over 300 in my collection. I have purchased several of Nick Malgieri's books through the years. I have to say that "The Mondern Baker" is by far his best yet. It seems like the book he was meant to write. As with all his books, the instructions are clear and the recipes well tested to make sure they work every time in the home kitchen. What sets this book apart ...
