Cooking for my family is something I love to do and I am always interested in finding new recipes to bring some variety into our meals, as well as new ways to add fun and flavor.
Herbs and Spices by Jill Norman, is both a book of recipes and a type of “how-to” book which guides the reader through different herbs and spices, how to tell them apart, and how to use them in recipes. There are instructions explaining how to prepare unique spice mixtures to add to different dishes. This book has actually been updated to include new herbs and spices being used around the world and new recipes that can be used alongside recipes already being prepared in kitchens everywhere. Every household has their particular preferences, and this book caters to every one of them. Seasoned cooks, so to speak, as well as those just beginning to navigate their way in the kitchen will find this book full of intriguing recipes and information. Herbs and Spices by Jill Norman, is available in hardback, with deliciously illustrated pictures that draw not only the eye, but the appetite as well. It is also available in ebook.
Another book I have had the opportunity to experiment with is Yan-Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook by Yan-Kit So. Yan-Kit So’s cookbook has been used by cooks for over thirty years because of the authenticity of the recipes and the knowledge she puts into them. This book, too, has been updated and now includes enticing pictures of the completed recipes, which makes cooking these dishes simpler and easier to understand. Yan-Kit So is an expert in the art of Chinese cooking and her recipes offer a wide variety of wonderful dishes. Her instructions and expertise are easy to follow and her years of experience put a professional flavor into the ingredients she uses, while keeping the recipes simple. I have the hardback version of Yan-Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook; however, it is also available in ebook form.
The third book is Complete Family Nutrition, by Jane Clarke. Jane Clarke is a Nutritionist with a wealth of invaluable knowledge under her belt. Her book covers everything the reader wants and needs to know about guarding the health of the family through the right kinds of nutrition. She visits every age, from birth to adult, with instructions and suggestions for not only the most nutritious foods, but also appropriate serving sizes. She delves into the health of the body as well as the mind, and which are the right foods for the health of both. Ms. Clarke addresses the proper foods that should be eaten by every age group for their growth and health.
Vitamins and supplements are talked about in Complete Family Nutrition, as well as when is the best time to eat fresh foods and when that may not be the best option; how to tackle a little bit too much weight, and how to maintain a healthy weight.
Jane Clarke shares her extensive knowledge with the reader regarding physical ailments, their causes, and how to eliminate them naturally, as well as an unlimited number of other subjects that are imperative to keeping our families healthy and happy.
