Cool-inary Moments: Culinary Memories, Mishaps, and Masterpieces Including Real Recipes Flavored with a Little Advice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781604950373)

Cooking and baking provide their own adventures. From the child who learned to cook in Grandma's kitchen to the adult who had never even tried to boil water, anyone who has ever attempted to prepare food has experienced memorable moments. That's why most of us have a favorite culinary story. Sometimes it's about a success. Other times it's about a total disaster. Oftentimes, it centers on a gathering of family and friends. Whether you love to cook and bake, or stay as far away from a kitchen as possible, you'll smile and remember your own stories when you join 46 authors as they recount cool-inary moments -- good, bad, even hilarious -- and share some recipes behind the stories.
