What a great book! I love yogurt and cooking with it in recipes is even better! This is a beautiful cookbook full of wonderful, simple recipes! And healthy recipes!! I'm new to Greek yogurt so I like how I can use it in different ways to the recipes in this book. The Fresh Pineapple Lassi was delish!!! I loved how it was only 4 ingredients and healthy to boot!

We also made the Strawberry Mango Smoothie, Cherry Tomato Raita, Cucumber Salad with Yogurt, raisins and walnuts and mint. Very good! We also made the Roasted tomato Bruschetta with yogurt cheese. Very good, too!

I also like how she goes into detail about how to make homemade yogurt. Its very detailed. I will have to try and make some for sure! This is an easy, simple, beautiful cookbook to follow. I love the simple, easy recipes in this book. That's a huge plus! And using yogurt in recipes is not only cost effected, its healthy for you!!!

I would recommend this book to every home cook!!!

Grill It, Braise It, Broil It

Loved this book! I was so excited to receive this cookbook as my family is starting to eat healthier. This book came at just the right time! The recipes are pretty simple. Some ingredients I don't always have on hand but the pros are a healthy meal so no big deal. The pictures are beautiful.

This book is jammed pack with healthy, good-for-you recipes. I also enjoy the book that tells you how to eat right. How to cut out the sugar. Living a healthy lifestyle and eating a healthy diet are just a few steps in this book. I also enjoyed the microwaving section of healthy foods. Who knew?

We  have made the Crockpot Meatball Soup with spinach and parmesan on page 10.  We have also tried the Southwestern Sweet Potatoes. I'm enjoying the recipes. I'm planning on buying the women in my family each one of these cookbooks! Its wonderful to have cookbooks like this one.


I would recommend this cookbook to everyone!!!

Milk Bar

                                                           

 

 

 

What a great cookbook!! There is some great information in this book that can inspire a non baker or an experienced one. The photos are really cool and the pages are nice and glossy so you can get crap on it and just wipe it off. The detail and description are great; every recipe has ingredients in both grams/ounces and teaspoons/cups so you never have to convert. She even goes into great detail about every ingredient she uses and what companies make the best chocolate or cake flour-or whatever it may be- for her recipes. The anecdotes and little pointers and tips along the way make this not only a great cook book but also a great book to sit down and read and dream and then go spend tons of money at the grocery store. I suggest that. Definitely get this book and buy two copies because once you get into it you'll want to share the awesome with your friends.

 

The Maple Pecan Cookies were super easy and delish!!! The Mango Drink was a great pick-me-up! And the Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake was to die for!! The Lemon Bars were super easy and the best Lemon bars I have ever made.

 

My daughter loved the Craft Night Sleep-Over section in the book.

 

I love the simple recipes. The pictures are just beautiful! This is a book I will come back to again and again!!

Another great cookbook I couldn't put down. I like how its gluten-free. The recipes are simple and easy to make. Besides the yummy bread, I loved the snack section. The oat crackers were simple to make. Oh, and oh-so-good to eat!! The Kale Chips were another hit. Never made those before. I'm a huge hummus fan, so making the hummus in this cookbook was even better then the way I used to make it. And the Lemon Sugar Cookies were sooooo good!!!!

The English muffins, Rye Bread, Croissants and Pain au Chocolate were simple and easy to make. Tasted even better!!!

I love how simple the recipes are. The pictures in this book are beautiful! I would recommend this cookbook to everyone.
