The Cookbook Every Mom Must Have: Healthy Cooking for Happy Kids

By

Every mom – or anyone who has had to take care of kids – will agree that there are times when nothing is good enough when it comes to food. One has to be rather creative – and patient – especially during periods when a child doesn’t feel like eating at all.

We’ve all had that…

But mom, I only want hotdogs!

I don’t want to eat anything but ice cream today.

I am sure you have heard all the possible variations of those from your kids, and I am even more sure that you want to give them healthy food.

Here’s where this new cookbook comes into the picture.

Cookbook Love: The Secrets of Baking

By

secrets-of-baking

My dearest friends and family know how much I adore all cookbooks, but those I love the most are the ones that delve deep into the science of cooking and baking. Which is why I was so pleased to receive a copy of Sherry Yard’s The Secrets of Baking: Simple Techniques for Sophisticated Desserts!

Yard is the executive pastry chef at the famous Spago, so she obviously knows what she’s talking about… but what appeals to me the most about this book is how instead of the usual “Cakes, Cookies, etc.” chapters, she’s created her chapters based on 12 “Master Recipes”. For example, one of these is Pate a Choux- once you’ve mastered it (and it’s actually very simple), you’ve opened up a world of possibilities, from eclairs to profiteroles to gougeres.

I’ve already made several of the Master Recipes, including her Ganache (perfect) and Genoise (needed some work- but come on, it’s Genoise after all!) A cookbook I love. Available at Amazon for $23.73 »
