Everyday Easy Recipes

The library recently ordered a wonderful series of books, the "Everyday Easy" series published by DK. This 6-cookbook set is based on content previously published in "The Illustrated Kitchen Bible" and "The Illustrated Quick Cook." The books are: Cakes and Cupcakes, One-pot, Freeze-Ahead Meals, Chicken, Cheap Eats, and 30-Minute Dinners. I love the format of these books--they have great illustrations and beautiful colored pictures of every recipe. There is even a technique section in every book--for example, in Cakes and Cupcakes there is a technique section that shows you step-by-step how to make a jelly roll and in the Freeze-Ahead Meals book, there is a section on "Instant Desserts." Each recipe has a convenient illustration on the bottom of the page stating how many servings the recipe makes along with preparation and cooking times. These books would be ideal for the beginning or advanced cook as they teach techniques as well as recipes. Look for these six new books on our "New Non-Fiction" shelves or reserve one of them today!
