Summer cook book reading

Jun 14, 2008 at 02:53

I spent an hour at Ed McKay's just the other day (that was about as long as Ben would allow), but in that short of time I found these great books.



Donna Hay... what more can I say. If you have never heard of her, shame on you! She does the most amazing things with food. Her recipes are quite simple and you should have most of the ingredients in your cabinets (if you are a cook). She also has a fabulous magazine also titled Donna Hay magazine (you can find them at Barnes & Nobles). Check her out!



This next book, The Sneaky Chef, is slowly becoming one of my favorites. We have the hardest time getting Benjamin to eat good foods. I was quite the skeptic when the book tells you to make a "purple paste" out of blueberries and spinach and mix it in with chocolate chip pancakes, but it really did not taste that bad and Benjamin gobbled them up. Who would have thought it!



Lastly, a book for my wee Ruby girl. We had a Three Dog Bakery in Seattle and while I could never bring myself to spend that kind of money on doggie goods. I did not mind spending three bucks on the book to make my own at home. Most of the treats are made with whole wheat flour, honey, peanut butter, etc. So not only are they healthy, but they are people friendly as well. Of course, dear hunny bunny could not believe I was feeding Ruby treats to the baby!

If your local library carries any of these books... Check them out!
