Drinks and Desserts

by Claudia Martin

Overview

In addition to meals and snacks, drinks and desserts are a big part of our diet. Many of us have orange juice with breakfast or cake on our birthdays. Do you know you can add carrot and ginger to your orange juice and it becomes an orange zinger? Did you know that rather than a whopping piece of sugary cake, a mini cheesecake is just as scrumptious? Young readers learn how to make both of these recipes and much more. This book teaches budding chefs how to add dessert into their lives so that some of the tastier things in life can be enjoyed, without over-doing it.

Gr 4 Up—Some cooks improvise, while others prefer specific instructions. Most of the 12 fairly simple recipes in each book yield fine results if followed exactly, but also serve as jumping-off points for experimentation. A "Mastering the Basics" column in each title gives guidelines for foundational techniques or recipes: using an oven, boiling pasta, making meringues, etc. Front matter emphasizes planning: gathering ingredients, timing, as well as nutrition and quantities. Big, tempting stock photos throughout are somewhat misleading, as they don't necessarily represent the exact recipes. Likewise, photos feature teens and young adults, even though these books are appropriate for younger kids as well. And while these recipes offer practice with excellent next-level techniques like zesting a lemon or using a piping bag, they assume basic familiarity with the tools and techniques. VERDICT Ignore the near-grown-ups in the pictures and hand these good second-level cookbooks to any enthusiast over 10.
