Borrowing its title from another popular series of book, Life’s Little Zucchini Cookbook: 101 Zucchini Recipes, by Joan Bestwick, is precisely that – a handy little tome of recipes to last you long after zucchini season is over. Bestwick includes recipes of well-known zucchini favorites, such as Stuffed Zucchini, Zucchini Bread and Fried Zucchini, along with a host of other preparations for baking, sauteing and stewing. More interesting is the adaptation of traditional dishes in which the versatile cucumber makes its appearance – such as Tuna & Zucchini Melts, Zucchini Lasagna, Zucchini Fudge Cake, and even a recipe for Zucchini & Banana Pudding. A few practical tips are included in the introduction, and, thankfully, recipes are easy-to-follow and not labor intensive. If you’re experiencing a bumper crop of zucchini, or just enjoying eating the prolific squash, you’ll enjoy having Life’s Little Zucchini Cookbook on hand.

What people have to say about this cookbook:
A delightful collection of zucchini recipes . Everybody always has too much zucchini.This book tells them how to prepare it.
“Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb” was what crowds in a Hollywood movie muttered when stewing about something. Life’s Little Rhubarb Cookbook will make you want to stew, too – and cook up rhubarb in dozens of other ways, as well.
Besides offering recipes for pies and a host of other old-fashioned desserts, Joan Bestwick shows how to serve rhubarb from breakfast to dinner – before dessert. She offers cinnamony muffins with a dollop of peach and rhubarb filling in the center, easy Rhubarb Chutney to serve with cottage cheese at lunch, refreshing Rhubarb and Lemon Punch sweetened with pineapple juice, and for a midafternoon treat, a “pizza” of rhubarb puree on a flattened pie crust dotted with strawberry “pepperoni,” dried black cherry “olives,” and a shower of grated white chocolate “cheese.
Famous chefs have paired rhubarb with chicken, fish, and meats in savory dishes. Bestwick proves how well this works in a baked chicken casserole that may inspire you to try rhubarb in other main courses. And, understanding that today time is as precious as calories, Bestwick’s dishes generally require around 30 minutes of preparation and call for 5 or less ingredients. The salads in this slim volume are colorful, sparkling, and easy gelatin molds. Set one on a buffet table or put it out at a potluck and watch confirmed food snobs find it irresistible!

What people say about this cookbook:
There are many wonderful recipes that involve apples as the primary ingredient. Joan Bestwick has gathered many of them together in the delightful “Life’s Little Apple Cookbook”. The only apple recipe that I was surprised not to find was one for Apple Streudel, one of my personal favorites. Still, if you like apples you are sure to find several recipes that will delight you.
