Honey Bran Oat Cake

This arrived just in time for then Jewish New Year. As I mentioned before, (Apple, Honey and Cinnamon Chicken) on Rosh HaShanah we traditionally eat food with honey, to symbolize our hope for a new sweet year. Here Paula writes about the recipe:
Not even an egg to break, sheesh. Yes, I know it calls for baking.. but honestly, baking does not get any easier than this…. Unless you use homemade applesauce, but I wouldn’t dare suggest that.
So now we give you a delicious & healthy Honey Cake (and no eggs to boot!).

Great recipe (and I do like the no eggs part as well - keeps it incredibly healthy.) However, still needs baking, even though we don't need egg white separation and certainly some dexterity in the kitchen. We will give this a two though as it is really straightforward with no need for rare ingredients or an overabundance of kitchen utensils.

Baking Powder

This is the last of Paula's recipes for "food & cooking staples" so far. She writes: Sometimes you run out of an item midway through baking. It is fun to be able to make the missing content out of items you have sitting in your cupboards. Baking Powder Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda Just whisk together until evenly blended Baking Art Print 12 in. x 6 in.

If I had all this stocked in my kitchen - trust me I would al

(***Due to layout of this review, if viewed in an RSS reader, certain sections may seem duplicated.) Before we begin, the normal disclaimer. This book review was solicited by the publishers of the Shrek Cookbook and contains my opinion of the book. For kosher readers of Help! I Have A Fire In My Kitchen - This is not a "kosher" cookbook though the majority of recipes in the Shrek Cookbook can be used as is, or with just a few sane and healthy substitutions, can be kept kosher. (Indeed as far as I could tell every recipe in this book can be kept kosher.) It is not that difficult to find equivalent and healthy kosher substitutes these days, especially in the United States. Book Details: The Shrek Cookbook , published by Dorling Kindersley ( www.dk.com ) is a publicized as a cookbook for children (ages 4-8).

How It All Began...

Image
The idea of a book on cooking for single and busy parents honestly all began with an email a few years ago when someone was complaining to me that all the books they seem to see were junk books written by celebrities making much-ado-about-nothing. They went on to rant about the cook books that were being produced by Gourmet chefs and the like that had dishes which took a whole month's pay to create and needed like 10,000 pots - and they still never came out right. "Why the hell doesn't someone write a normal cook book that normal people can use to learn how to cook?" this person asked knowing that I had taught myself how to cook since I divorced. I had to. I had kids to feed! And oh boy, can kids eat! I shrugged and let it go. Actually the whole subject did not interest me at the time. I was in the middle of getting some fiction WIP's together and working on my non-fiction book at the time " Three Weeks In Jenin ". Writing a cook-book was the furthest t
