Recipe for Cheese Straws and Giveaway: cookbook & Zabar's coffee bundle

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

The updated version of the late Edna Lewis’ classic cookbook is a must-have for fans of Southern cooking. Long ago, Miss Lewis cooked a meal for me—lucky me. And lucky you, to have the opportunity to learn from one of the greats. There are charming stories and helpful tips woven into the book, including how her aunt removed the shells from black walnuts by placing them in the driveway and running over them with her car. There is an illustration of her setup for making spun sugar, by suspending a broom between two chairs. And of course, the recipes: from cheese custard to green gage plum preserves and roast stuffed duck to grits. Go in the kitchen and cook!

Recipe for Egg Person Toast & giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book is overflowing with fun and delicious recipes to feed your children. With monkey milkshakes and miniature lasagnas, the grown-ups can find some treats too. When my children were little, we spent a lot of time in London. Our favorite meal was nursery tea, with the requisite sandwiches and pudding, and the oh-so-British Eggs and Soldiers, or eggs with tall, narrow pieces of toast, covered in butter and jam. Ah. Reminiscent of those teas is this adorable egg person with toast. Cheerio!
