Books - You Can't Go Without!

Have you ever had the craving for a particular dish or meal, but cannot seem to find a recipe for it? If this sounds like you, there is no need to fret. The fact of the matter is that recipes are available all over the place. Just because you are not a master chef does not mean that you cannot find cooking recipes. If you know where to look for recipes you should never have any problem getting started with your next delicious meal.

Here are three places that you can find cooking recipes without having to spend hours looking for them.

1. The most obvious place to find cooking recipes is in a cookbook. Paper recipes are what the majority of people turn to when they are trying to make a dish that they are not familiar with. After all, paper recipes allow you to keep the instructions handy as you move through the process. The good thing about cookbooks is that there are hundreds of them for sale, with each on touching on a unique topic. You can find a cookbook that covers everything from bread making to desserts.

2. When searching for cooking recipes never overlook a good friend. Chances are that if you like to cook, you probably know somebody else that shares the passion. Why not swap recipes so that everybody can enjoy? Trading paper recipes with a friend is one of the most overlooked ways of finding new dishes to make.

3. Of course, you can search for recipes online. If there is something that you need information on in a hurry, the internet is the place to look. Computer recipes allow you to find what you need without having to buy a single thing. In addition, many people have decided to go the internet route because they can print out the computer recipes and take them to the kitchen. It does not get much easier than that.

Regardless of what type of recipe you are in need of, the fact of the matter is that they can be found in a number of different places. If you do not have luck with one of the options listed above, you can always try the next. And if none of them work for you, why not find your own way of compiling recipes?

The bottom line is that you do not have to be a cooking professional to find quality recipes.

“On-the-go” food recipes for kids that don’t require any type of cooking?

I’m having to come up with a cooking activity for a daycamp that I work at for kids ages 4-12, who also have disabilities. The theme for next week is “Transportation” so I’m thinking that I’d like to have a simple no-cook recipe (as we don’t have a stove or oven) that relates to the theme, or very close to it…such as being “on the go.” Making a trail mix is out as we already did that last week.

Any ideas????

This one is from Rachael Ray’s cookbook for kids…

Celery Boats with Carrot Sails
4 servings

4 stalks celery
2 slices cheese – cheddar, pepper jack, American
1/2c whipped cream cheese or soft herb cheese, like Alouette
Sweet paprika
1 large carrot, peeled

Trim a long thing strip off the round side of the celery so it sits flat.

Cut the deli cheese into 1 inch stips and line the celery with the cheese.

Fill the celery with the whipped cream cheese or herb cheese, spreading it over the sliced cheese.

Sprinkle filled celery with paprika. These are your “boats”.

Thinly slice the carrot diagonally into ovals. Cut each oval in half on a diagonal and you get two triangle “sails” with rounded edges.

Set the sails into each boat by pushing the rounded edge into the cheese to make the sails stand up.
