Taste of Home Frosty Treats & More: 201 Easy Ideas for Cool Desserts (TOH Mini Binder)

Great Book, can't wait to try some recipes.

Another cookbook caught my attention recently: Taste of Home Frosty Treats & More: 201 Cool Ideas for Icy Sweets. Since we are in the heat of summer in Oklahoma, the recipes in the book sound refreshing. From the table of contents, we learn the book features recipes on cool beverages, DIY ice cream, frosty desserts, and much more including saucy toppings.At the beginning of the cookbook, cooks will find “Serving Secrets.” That page contains suggestions like what to do when out of ice cream toppings: Warm a little jam or jelly in the microwave and drizzle it over the ice cream. Another addition to the cookbook which I really like is a page for one’s own notes. That does not appear on every page, but the pages are interspersed throughout the cookbook. That will provide useful reminders about what happened the last time or suggestions for altering the recipe a bit.Color photos accompany each recipe. Each recipe gives the time it takes to prepare and bake, and freezing time if that is appropriate. Tips are also included throughout the cookbook. For example, one tip reminds cooks that even “a trace amount of fat in a bowl can keep a meringue from reaching its maximum volume.”

I love this book and have given it for gifts. Fun to browse through and fun to make.Little ones love to pick out their own treats to make. Great for summertime coming up.

Can never go wrong with a Taste of Home Book!
