It’s
part art, part science and part temptation. Casey Barber shows home cooks how
to make versions that look and taste like your favorite snacks from Mint
Milanos, and Mallomars to Goldfish Crackers. There are pages of this stuff and
the photos look just like the professional versions. This book is fascinating
and you get to know Barber and get some fun facts about your snack attack
picks.
I’m
not gonna like, some of the processes are long, but if you’re working on a
family fave, it sounds like fun. Even if you don’t make the actual product as
designed, you still get “secrets” like how they make Dorito’s go all “cool
ranch.”
Barber
got me in her sweets and candies section when she writes that sometimes “bowl
of popcorn = dinner. I love when that happens.
Sunny
side blue
Go
gourmet with two ingredients. I made a quick and memorable meal by frying an
egg and melting blue cheese on top. Okay, you can cook with olive oil and add
red pepper if you want to get really complicated.
Pass
the Clongs
Okay germ freaks, get ready for
Dreamfarm, an Australian design company that has a colorful way of solving
problems.
There’s a bend in their kitchen
utensils that keeps the bowl of your spoon, or silicone Supoon off the counter.
The tongs become Clongs, and feature a click button to close them up. Models in
yellow, pink, red, purple, etc., color up your kitchen.
New items feature a mini Supoon
with a flat bottom that becomes a spatula to get every last scrape from your
jar and the Chopula Steel chopping sit-up spatula. You other utensils will
welcome the company.
