Originally published in 1932. This little book contains something for everyone desiring to excel in home baking. There are a variety of novelties for experienced folk, but there is also definite instruction in the preliminaries of Cake Making, and recipes of the simple economical variety with which a novice may make a succesful trial trip. It is a great temptation, on seeing an interesting recipe, to plunge into the making without due forethought, and I would urge the inexperienced to note the Success Secrets, and to read the chapter on Modern Cake Making thoroughly before beginning work. All the recipes have been testes (and eaten!) many times and are in constant use in teaching Cookery Students. Contents include: Concerning Cakes - Preparation - Making - Baking - Icing - Varieties of Cakes, Pastries, Pastry Making - Cake, Old and New - Cakes of Some English Counties - Scotch and Irish Cakes - French Cakes - Canadian and American Cakes.

In this book columnist Sandy Holthaus covers everything from "The Coldest Place on Earth" (an outhouse seat in January) to "How to Hire A Hit Man" (for a Chihuahua) all tied together with more than 200 recipes that are delicious and easy to prepare. Against her better judgment she has even included a few zucchini recipes but she'd rather you crave this squash into a boat and send it down the river. If you love to eat and enjoy a good story, you are holding the right book

This book is about making healthy food choices. It contains information about how to choose products, how to alter recipes, ingredient substitutions, and nearly 150 recipes. My food preparation concept is easy to follow, because I do not count calories, and I do not measure portion sizes. I make healthy food choices, and I always read labels. Choosing the right foods and ingredients contributes to health, well-being, and energy levels. After my husband and I changed our eating habits in 2006, we both lost weight, and we have maintained a healthy weight, and healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels since then. Since we are empty nesters, many of the recipes serve four or less, and they can easily be doubled.

Cooking for one or two people isn't as simple as cutting recipes in half or quarters and here, seasoned author Joanna Pruess tackles the measurements, to create delicious and healthy soups without waste or leftovers.

Organised by type rather than ingredient, with chapters on creamy soups, tomato-based soups, meal soups and so on, Soup for Two offers more than 85 recipes, ranging from 15-Minute Corn and Shrimp Chowder to Kale, Chickpea and Coconut Soup to Rainy Day Tomato Bisque with Mini Grilled Cheese Bites and Madras Red Lentil Soup. If you love making soup but aren't feeding a crowd-with great recipes and mouthwatering photography-Soup For Two is just for you.
