Sabroso!: The Spanish-American Family Cookbook

Author: Noemi Taylor

ÂЎSabroso! is a compilation of over 200 recipes, menus, and the stories of four lively, Spanish-speaking women who formed new homes and a close friendship far from their native homes of Spain, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia. Food has always been central to the friendship between the four women. From the first get-together, to every picnic, barbecue, birthday, party, holiday, and milestone shared through the years every woman brought a special dish made from a recipe from her native country adjusted with American ingredients. When they first moved to America they each realized how different the food was from their home counties. So they soon began to adjust, swap, debate and refine their recipes. This book is a collection of these recipes and the stories of their friendship and traditions lovingly compiled by the daughter of one of the women.

Soymilk Desserts

Author: Yasuyo Shida

Soymilk is attracting worldwide interest for its dietary benefits and can be found in almost every market. Light and easily digestible, soymilk contains good quality phytoproteins and vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Although drinking soymilk is quite common it is still difficult for most people to substitute soymilk in everyday recipes, and many of those who can't tolerate cow's milk often go without their favorite foods. Delicious and Healthy Desserts Made with Soymilk makes cooking with soymilk simple and easy without complicated conversions or substitutions.

Delicious and Healthy Desserts Made with Soymilk features 77 sweet recipes from popular chocolate cakes, fruit desserts, and puddings to fiber-rich cookies made with tofu byproducts. Each recipe comes with step-by-step photos and instructions that even a beginner can follow.

Shirley Reis - KLIATT

This is a great book for those who are lactose intolerant. It is filled with over 70 different desserts and beverages that use soy milk rather than cow's milk. Full-color illustrations illustrate each step in the preparation of the recipes. All recipes clearly indicate the level of difficulty along with necessary preparation times. Each recipe has "do ahead tips" that allow some steps to be done out of order, simplifying the preparation. Some of the recipes are: Peanut and Sesame Biscotti, Tofu Cheesecake, Moist Chocolate Cake, Vanilla and Chocolate Churros, Cherry Tart, Mango Mousse, Citrus Smoothie, and Parfait Japanesque. A few of the recipes require specialized ingredients that need to be purchased in a Japanese grocery store. Shida has studied at both L'Ecole Lenotrein in France and at the Richmond Bakery School in Switzerland. Her confections are highly praised by gourmets in Japan. (Quick & Easy). KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2004, Kodansha, 92p. illus., Ages 12 to adult.

Blue Grass Cook Book or Bakery Food Manufacture and Quality

Blue Grass Cook Book

Author: Minnie C Fox

This 1904 book is a loving testament to the power of food-inspired memory, while being evocative of the sights, smells, and tastes of Kentucky in the 1900s. Most importantly, the book was groundbreaking, over one hundred years ago, in its celebration of the vital role Black women played in building and sustaining the tradition of Southern cooking and Southern hospitality. It is full of authentically regional Kentucky recipes. While brain croquettes may not be on everyone's menu today, there are few who can resist the 10 variations on corn bread, or the multiplicity of recipes for biscuits, or the wealth of ice cream flavors and desserts.

Its management and control during preparation, processing, baking, cooling and storage is essential for the optimisation of product quality.

Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, the book has been expanded and developed through the inclusion of new information and references related to the formation and processing of batters and dough into baked products. The new edition includes a selection of case studies based on practical experience in the manufacture and optimisation of baked products. Each case study, illustrated as appropriate, considers the various roles that water may play in different manufacturing contexts. The book is aimed at food scientists and technologists in bakery companies; ingredient suppliers; flour millers; researchers and students in academic food science departments.
