The Looney Spoons Collection {Book Review}

The Looney Spoons Collection by Greta and Janet Podleski is quite possibly the best recipe book I’ve ever read! I love to READ recipe books, especially when they have a large amount of extra information like this one does! This book is written with a lot of humour which is appealing to kids (for eating sake) and for adults (it is purely entertaining).

I love all of the extra tid bits of information and tips! I have learned so much from reading this book.

Here is what I love:

• The fun names of the recipes (with a translation of what it really is underneath).
• The recipe tips.
• The Nutrition Nuggets (various information about nutrition).
• The various informational segments.
• The variety of recipes.
• The Nutritional Information for each recipe.
• The large, colourful photographs.
• That Greta and Janet try to share health conscious recipes.

The only constructive thing I have to say about this book is that while I love the fact that there is a list of all of the recipes at the beginning of each chapter, I wish that there were page numbers beside them so that I could easily locate each one.

I am a baker at heart. While I do enjoy cooking, baking is my forte.

From this book I’ve tried out The Rolling Scones: cranberry-orange scones and Little Miss Muffin Tops: Oatmeal, blueberry and banana muffin tops. The whole family enjoyed the scones – they were eaten up over a weekend! The kids and I enjoyed the muffins, although I will admit that I don’t think I put enough banana (bad Mommy for not measuring), so I had to add some almond milk to the batter to thin it out. These muffins were yummy!

I can’t wait to test out more recipes from this wonderful cookbook!
