I Love Tasty by Catrine Kelty

One of our cooking teachers stopped by the library today and we had fun discussing new cookbooks, especially I LOVE TASTY by Catrine Kelty.  If you are not familiar with the Tasty website, have a look.  I was introduced to the delicious recipes there by my 20-something children and I think this cookbook is a great fit for that same group. I LOVE TASTY, the unofficial cookbook, is filled with images and easy to follow recipes perfect for the beginning cook – much like the website itself.  I really liked that the process is photographed as well as the final dish. Just a few favorites from the cookbook include “Good Morning Breakfasts” with Cinnamon-Chocolate Chip Muffins, “All Kinds of Vegetable Dishes” with Zucchini Pancakes, and comfort foods like True Shepherd’s Pie or Flaky Chicken Potpie in the “Meat, Poultry and Fish for Dinner” section.  These 100 or so basic recipes are all relatively easy with a limited number of familiar ingredients and provide a wonderful opportunity to explore for new cooks.  Looking for other cookbook ideas? Don’t forget Good and Cheap by Leanne Brown – my colleague checked that one out, too.
