Gifts for Cooks

The Mommies Reviews

Charlie homeschooling full time this year I wanted to get our family more involved in cooking together as a family. Getting everyone off the Electronics.

Poh Bakes 100 Greats by Poh ling Yeow

Poh Bakes 100 Greats by [Ling Yeow, Poh]

‘I love baking so much I’ve been known to park myself in front of the oven to watch a cake cook, like television.’

Poh first fell in love with food by learning to bake as a nine-year-old – she remembers vividly her mum showing her the art of folding flour into her first sponge cake ‘just like so’ and the skill in lining a tin meticulously. Now, years after Poh’s meteoric rise to fame through MasterChef, and hosting her own television shows, Poh’s Kitchen and Poh & Co, she returns to her roots, with wooden spoon and mixing bowl in hand. Poh owns and runs Adelaide destination cafe and bakery Jamface, with her bestie, Sarah. She describes the Jamface baking philosophy as the love child between a Parisian patisserie and the Country Women’s Association. Here, she shares recipes for 100 of her favourite baked delights.

Take the afternoon off, fire up the oven, and join Poh in the meditative process of baking something truly great.

The Everything® Keto Diet Meal Prep Cookbook

300 easy keto recipes for make-ahead breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and even desserts!

The keto diet is a healthy eating plan that is low in carbs, high in fats, and moderate in protein. This combination provides real fat-loss results as your body burns fat for fuel. It’s an easy diet to follow, but it requires advance planning to make sure all your meals contain the optimum balance to bring your body to the state of fat-burning ketosis. The best way to do this is to plan and prepare a week’s work of meals ahead of time so you always have a fully prepared breakfast, lunch, or dinner when it’s mealtime.

The Everything® Keto Diet Meal Prep Cookbook will help you create healthy keto meals for every day of the week so you can be in control of exactly what you eat. This handy, easy-to-use cookbook contains 300 delicious recipes that will help you lose weight. Getting into the habit of meal prepping and starting a healthier diet has never been easier!

The Everything® Keto Cycling Cookbook

In The Everything® Keto Cycling Cookbook, readers will find hundreds of options for low-carb, high-fat meals, along with recipes for that weekly—yet still healthy—cheat day.

The keto diet has taken the world by storm, promising quick weight loss by burning fat for fuel instead of carbs. But the keto diet isn’t perfect for everyone. It can be highly restrictive, allowing dieters to only eat a minimal amount of carbs each day, which can be hard to keep up on a long-term basis.

The keto cycle diet allows dieters to experience the wonderful benefits of the keto diet without having to give up carbs forever. By adhering to the keto diet for six days of the week and then eating healthy, clean carbs on the seventh—such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, and fruit—followers of the keto cycling diet burn fat and lose weight while still enjoying pasta once in a while.

The Everything® Keto Cycling Cookbook will help you create keto-friendly meals during the week and healthy carb-forward dishes for that day of free eating. This cookbook features 300 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even desserts that will keep you on track and feeling great.

One Dish – Four Seasons: Food, Wine, and Sound – All Year Round

One Dish – Four Seasons: Food, Wine, and Sound – All Year Round is not your average cookbook. It’s a fully immersive experience and seasonal journey. In this family collaboration and labor of love, we take a base recipe and by varying certain ingredients seasonally available, we churn out four versions, a winter, spring, summer, and fall. 20 dishes x 4 seasons = 80 recipes (plus a round of cocktails, of course). Each dish is then paired with a wine and a music album, further exploring the seasonality of these three elements of entertaining. It’s sprinkled with tons of jokes, layers, thoughtful attention to detail, and sophistication. A dash of humor, a pinch of personality, and a sprinkle of family lore round out the pages.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
