The (ex)Expatriate's Kitchen: Book Giveaway! The Cleaner Plate Club -- UPDATED



The (ex)Expatriate's Kitchen: Book Giveaway! The Cleaner Plate Club
I am so excited about this book, this author is a friend of a friend of mine and she has blogged extensively about eating well for families. We all know how hard it is to get healthy yet appetizing food on our tables and actually get the kids to eat. Beth brings you tips, hints, techniques and recipes to take the stress out of dinner time. I simply adore her writing style and her down to earth approach.\

If you leave me a comment here that tells me why you love cooking for your kids, why you love Beth Bader, why you think it is important to make healthy meals for your family YOU COULD WIN A COPY OF THE BOOK! The actual winner will be chosen by my 8 year old on or about February 1st. I will contact the winner to get a mailing address to send the book. THIS IS TOTALLY EXCITING AND YOU SHOULD COMPLETELY DO THIS RIGHT NOW! (extreme drama caps!!) Now get on it and write me a comment below!

Seasoning Savvy

Seasoning Savvy: How to Cook With Herbs, Spices, and Other Flavorings Seasoning Savvy: How to Cook With Herbs, Spices, and Other Flavorings by Alice Arndt


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book has the research and information of an encyclopedia, the detail of a quirky travelogue, and a lovely companion in the voice of the author. Speaking of rosewater Alice Arndt writes, "The classic Persian combination of rose water and saffron is so luscious that it's almost embarrassing."

The scope of this work is to synthesize information on herbs, spices and flavorings from around the world and throughout history. It reads like a novel; I find myself returning to it again and again to peruse the entries as though leafing through a beloved story.
