Over the past ten years producers of organic wine and the varieties they make have increased dramatically. The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine is the premier guide to organic wines, domestic and foreign, available in the United States. Whether you are a wine connoisseur, investor, store owner, restauranteur, hotel manager, or just like to drink high-quality wine, The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine will increase your appreciation of wine, the wine country, and the wine-makers who are making better, healthier wines. Evidence indicates that the proper use of wine will help you live longer, look younger, and generally enhance your health. The authors present many scientifically demonstrated health properties of wine along with authoritative references. Such important topics as wine and pregnancy, wine's use in the health care industry, and wine and alcoholism are covered in detail. Wine producers themselves explain their decision to make organic wine and their particular artistry in doing so.

Safety tips are also included (with no mention of adult supervision), as are tips for healthful cooking. Each book presents about 20 recipes, mostly focusing on lunch, dinner, and holiday foods. A number of recipes are vegetarian, and several seem to be low in fat (although nutrition information is not included).

The narrative pieces are smoothly written and offer some interesting tidbits. The authors are either natives or have some family connection to the country under discussion. The pages are a warm buff color, and the design allows plenty of space on the page for the text and the nicely reproduced color photos. All in all, these are good resources for reports and for older kids who want to add something new to their cooking for family or friends.-Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

The best time to start teaching your children is not once they have gotten into trouble or left the house. It is when their minds and hearts are open to hear from you at a young age.

Children love to learn. Discovery is what life is about for them. What they discover should be for their benefit - and it will be - if you teach them life principles in both formal and informal settings. Fun Meals takes the stress out of the situation. I love to tell my sons stories when we are hanging out, doing things or driving in the car. They are willing and thankful to receive wisdom - if I am willing to impart it!

Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle and Other Salad Recipes or Chocolates Sweets and Candies

Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle and Other Salad Recipes

Author: Kristi Johnson

Dose a classic lettuce salad sound boring to you? With ingrediemts like apples, marshmallows, and even candy bars, these salads are anything but boring. They're tons of fun to make and eat. You'll be serving up a tasty dish in no time with these yummy and easy-to-make recipes.

Children's Literature

Part of a new series, "Fun Food for Cool Cooks" these handsome titles are going to jump into the hands of kids (and grownups) because of the simple recipes, easy directions (usually one sentence per step), large print, enticing photographs of the finished food attractively presented, and a tone that says to kids, "You can DO this!" Every recipe has a star-rating from one to three to show difficulty, a list of ingredients (in small print, however), and pictures in each recipe of the tools to be used during the preparation (a first in cookbooks!). The recipes are titled enticingly and closely fit the theme of each cookbook. Each book includes Facthound.com information, a glossary, an index, a quick bio of the author (in a toque), a few books to lead kids into more reading, and a standard picture book trim size that will draw in older readers as well as the targeted age group (elementary) because of the photos. In this salad treasury you will find recipes for "Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle Salad" ( a pasta and tuna affair), "Rainbow Fruit Salad" (mixed berry compote in a tall glass), "Sweet Summer Potato Salad" (it has grapes in it as well as chow mein noodles), "Candy Bar Salad" (apples are the only living thing in this one), "Pepperoni Pizza Salad" (lettuce instead of pizza crust), "Mexican Fiesta Salad" (taco salad), "Triple Cheese and Macaroni Salad" (mac and cheese with tomatoes), "Apple and Worm Salad" (it has an apple as the container and a gummy worm hanging out), "Creamy Dreamy Cloud Salad" (fruit cocktail and Cool Whip with a few other ingredients), and last but not least, "Asian Chicken Salad" (with ramen and chicken nuggets). Every recipe also includes a sidebar of "tasty tips" toadd variations or some nice little trivia tidbit kids will like. The "Kitchen Safety" section at the front of each book is conversational and sensible and encourages kids to actually DO things. Unlike many cookbooks, it advises kids to have a First Aid kit in the kitchen too. The front page features a kid photo alongside metric conversions (does anybody ever USE these, I wonder?). These are among the most attractive cookbooks for kids I have seen and would be appropriate for elementary, middle, and early high school readers with nary a complaint from a kid.
