This book contains kid friendly instructions for teaching kids how to bake. In addition to the baking recipes there are simple recipes for appetizers and entrees. This is a wonderful book for helping adults spend quality time with children in the kitchen. Adults and kids will have fun with the variety of recipes.

I've worked in the food industry as a chef for several years and I thought it would be a great experience to write a kid friendly book about cooking and baking. This book was designed for kids to learn cooking and baking techniques on their own or with an adult. This book will create happy memories in the kitchen that will last for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

Once again my way to writing that great novel (it is started, and developing) I keep getting stalled in the land of food. The very staple of our existence. After the completion of the Great Canadian Chicken and Of Borscht and Beyond. I ran into a Bean and here is its story.

In the land of great personal loves, next to the Arts and Creative Writing, I spend most of my Saturdays plotting the menus for the upcoming week for the household.

When my Goddaughter told me of her very productive green bean crop, my mind went back into a time when I had gardens, and one of the MOST prolific crops was indeed the green bean. Phaseolus vulgaris , Translated probably means, Beans what Grow with great vigor At least that is how I see it.

So, on the Saturdays of menus I began to explore some of many ways there are so serve, enjoy and be nourished by this humble little green tube like vegetable, a relative of the Caragana bush we saw edging our yards on the Canadian Prairies, I believe. I was amazed how very good it was, not only eat, but was also good for we humans.

There seems to be a never ending trail of ways to serve the bean with likely dozens more I have not yet found.

Do enjoy and try some of our culinary treasures. Bean up !

When I first began my writing development process it was for the purpose of creating novels, however people, even writers need nutrition, so on my ventures into the kitchen I began to keep track of what was happening there.

Having completed Borscht & Beyond, on to Book of Beans, followed by Much Muffins. Intersected only briefly by Got Your Back, a children’s novel of caring and sharing. Then perhaps finally, to that long awaited novel.

Much Muffins was originally to be titled Have you seen this Muffin Ma’am? Cute, but did not make the cut. So while I go back to the creation of that Great Romantic novel….. Do have a Muffin! Bon Appetite!
