Sunday Dinner

 My weekends always revolve around food-- grocery shopping and cooking, because I refuse to cook during the week or get takeaway. Here are some brief notes on some books I've come across recently; as much as I really HATE cooking, I love to read cookbooks. No idea.

Dessert Designer: Creations You Can Make and Eat!Rau, Dana Meachan. Dessert Designer
1 January 2013, Capstone Young Readers
E ARC from Netgalley.com

Worth buying if only for the armadillo cupcakes made with Nutter Butter cookies. Very pretty pictures, and longer than some. Definitely doable designs.








Meaty Main Dishes
Larson, Jennifer and Cohen, Brie. Meaty Main Dishes
1 March 2013, Millbrook Press, 32 Pages
E ARC from Netgalley.com 

Some decent recipes, but short.








Delicious Vegetarian Main DishesLarson, Jennifer and Cohen, Brie. Delicious Vegetarian Main Dishes

If you buy the Meaty Main Dishes, you almost have to buy this as well!







Going Vegetarian

Rau, Dana Meachan. Going Vegetarian: A Healthy Guide to Making the Switch.
1 January 2012, Compass Point Books

This didn't have much in the way of recipes, and was a little more polemic than I thought it would be. I eat very little meat, mainly for environmental reasons, and my college age daughter is a "nothing with a face" vegetarian who is leaning toward veganism (cheese will be an issue!), but do realize that this title has some pictures of meat processing that are a little graphic.

    I know! I buy/read cookbooks all the time...and then I end up just making chicken soup with whatever I can find in the fridge and eating it all week. Librarians should have a personal cook.
