Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
My 7 year old grandson just loved the book! He read it in one sitting and called me on the phone to tell me what was in the book. He was very excited about it. A good book to make a little reader like reading.

Bear Wants More 35 reviews
Karma Wilson
Margaret K. McElderry, 2003
these bear books are adorable!!!
Not only do I adore the illustrations and rhythmic text of these too-cute bear books, my 1-year-old daughter has LOVED them since the day I bought them (I got this one when she was about 7-8 months old). She makes me read them each 10 times a day, and she laughs every time when the bear sneezes in Bear Snores On. They are exactly the kind of book I would have loved to come up with myself. ...

My Book Club loved this book!!
My book club recently read this book and we unanimously voted it a five star. It's such a good read and the author writes a touching story - sometimes funny and sometimes a little sad but always moving.
We have 17 members in our club and many have purchased the book as gifts for others after we read it.
I am an avid reader and this book kept me enthralled. I was up reading it until 2:00 ...

NOLS Cookery (National Outdoor Leadership School) (National Outdoor Leadership School)11 reviews
Stackpole Books, 2004
KEY for expedition planning
This book is all you will ever need (and you WILL need it) to plan long trips. I find that planning food rations for long trips is one of the biggest logistical challenges. Not only can the planning be difficult, it can also be difficult to figure out which foods will keep your body energized and healthy over long periods of time (i.e. not Ramen). When you are on a high altitude expedition or ...

Foodie Babies Wear Bibs (Urban Babies Wear Black)1 review
Michelle Sinclair Colman
Tricycle Press, 2008
Perfect Gift for Your Foodie-in-Training
Foodie Babies Wear Bibs is by far the most adorable children's board book I've ever seen. The illustrations are whimsical, and engaging while the text is straightforward -- as it should be. Flipping through the pages I'm absolutely enamored with Nathalie Dion's depictions of roly poly babies playing with their food in all manner of locations. My favorite page is simply captioned "Foodie babies ...

I am on my way to Paris this week for a culinary experience not unlike Mr Spitz. I am not going to the classes he did, but am looking forward to tasting foods one can only dream about in the United States. Mr. Spitz traveled to France and Italy in 2004 following demise of a relationship (actually two relationships) and went to a number of cooking schools over a period of several months. He honed ...

International School of Sugarcraft: New Skills and Techniques (International School of Sugarcrafts), Vol. 39 reviews
Nicholas Lodge, Margaret Ford
Merehurst Limited, 2004
The basics from several master cake decorators
Many different techniques from the best of the best. Whether you like whimsical or realistic, there is much to learn.
You'll find mostly gumpaste/flowerpaste technique, but don't expect the chunky "cookie cutter" look. This detail is as fine as it gets.
Great for those who want to "rest those weary wrists" as it shows a beautiful alternative to classical piping.

A hit with the kids!
We all loved "Cooking Art" but especially my children. They loved looking through the illustrations, making the recipes and especially eating their "creations". One of their favorites was the "Zucchini Train". There's just something special about eating something that you yourself have created. Even my finicky eater licked his plate clean! The recipes are easy to do and if you don't have one ...
