One of the cons of eating gluten-free is the fact that most everything you previously ate is now off limits. The glaring absence of delicious foods is very obvious...especially during the holidays. No pies, rolls, pastries, or Christmas tree cookies makes for a very dismal Christmas. I picked up...

If you have any experience with gluten-free cooking, you know the recipes can be hit or miss. Some are delicious and some are not. The Gluten-free table is definitely a book of hits. It has a ton of recipes that you would actually want to eat, have the time to make and ingredients where you can...

This is an excellent book for children and parents who are interested in learning the traditions of tea time in order to host their own.  The images are beautiful paintings from various time periods, and the importance of tradition and ritual at teatime are emphasized in the text and the...

Another winner from America's Test Kitchen! This is another of their books that I tested by bringing home from the library, and then went out & bought because I know I'll use it over & over. These recipes were all thoroughly tested for maximum flavor--which sometimes means a little more...

This is my favorite new cookbook--I had to buy a copy so I wouldn't keep the library's copy out forever! Everything I've tried so far--Thai Coconut Curry Soup with Chicken, Pine Nut & Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Maple Pork Chops with Sweet Potato Bacon Hash, Pork Florentine, Sesame Pork...

This is a follow up to he first book called Tender at the Bone, Reichl writes beautifully about food and about being human. Her observations are prosey yet powerful, she is identifiable and admirable, flawed and motivated. Also she has eaten with some of the best and most famous cooks of our age...

A blog I follow referenced the Herbivoracious blog, which led me to this new vegetarian cookbook.  I belong to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), so I get a "share" of random produce each week.  I need new cookbooks to figure out what to...

Cupcake is just plain vanilla and he was left behind when all the fancier cupcakes were chosen first. Candle is just a plain birthday candle - he does not sparkle, he is not skinny or a number. Together, the two try all different combinations to make Cupcake seem like a better choice. Finally,...
