One kid plus one adult, needed for this recipe. First, you make the popcorn. Then, the caramel sauce. Pour it on the popcorn, with some peanuts, and bake. A couple of stirs of the hot mixture, and Voila! A crunchy treat is born. The Complete DIY Cookbook for Young Chefs is filled with great recipes to make with your kids. Pita chips, smoothies, muffins, and even pesto. The companion book, Kitchen Explorers! has puzzles, games, and experiments sprinkled in with even more recipes.

Curried Cauliflower & Potato Pasties are lovely hand pies that are perfect for dinner with a salad. They can be baked in the oven set at 425 degrees F. Then dive into the recipes in this amazing book, and make a mac ’n’ cheese pie; an English breakfast pie, with eggs baked into the center; coronation chicken pie; and of course, bubble and squeak.

Make these lovely biscuits (cookies) for your sweetie. Then master the techniques for scones, jellies, and curds. There are recipes here for new takes on traditional British tea fare: deviled egg mayonnaise sandwiches with micro herbs, and cucumber sandwiches with yuzu and chive butter. Next on my list: pbj cookie sandwiches, sour cherry cake, and Veronica’s gingerbreads.

This wonderful book is an armchair cook’s trip into an Indonesian kitchen. The sambal featured here is a versatile relish that you can make as spicy as you please. I am exploring this book’s interesting dishes, made with lemongrass, pandan leaves, and palm sugar. Next on my list: Peanut sauce, crispy fish, and bakso meatball soup.

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar
A tagine is a flavorful, slow-cooked stew. It’s also the vessel that it is cooked in, which is a kind of pot bottom with a tall, tapered cover that allows steam to build up so the food stays tender. This cookbook has lots of recipes for vegetarian dishes, often served with couscous, rice, or toasted bread, such as little artichokes with ginger, honey, and preserved lemon; runner beans with tomato and dill; and a creamy pumpkin soup with chili honey. Whip up this easy veggie dish and settle in with the book to take an armchair trip to Morocco.

There are lots of interesting meals for one you can whip up in a flash: try the Florentine soup with sausage and tortellini, salads, stir-fries, paper bag popcorn, and two chocolate chip cookies made in the toaster oven.

This beautiful book is inspiring me to go in the kitchen and make some new dishes—lasagna with pesto this week, and pineapple-coconut rice next. And cheese-topped garlic bread. But first, this simple dip, a perfect pairing with a toast to the new year in front of the fire.
