BOOK REVIEW

The Apple Barn Cookbook
by The Apple Barn and Cider Mill, Inc

The Apple Barn Cookbook
The Apple Barn Cookbook
Reviewed by Cindy Sanchez

It seems that every year come September, my eyes are bigger than my kitchen. Let me explain...

Sometime about mid September we trek out on our first seasonal trip to the local apple orchard. Once we enter the apple barn I am overcome with the wonderful aroma of fresh picked apples. So, of course I cannot settle for a simple half bushel of these wonderful fruits but always pick much more that we then lug to our vehicle.

As my kitchen counter becomes over run with apples the excitement begins...what shall I bake? Apple Pies? Apple Cake? Apple Crumb Cake? These are all tasty recipes, but each year I strive to add one more new apple recipe to our collection. This is not an easy task. I truly believed that I had mastered all there was to make with apples. The Apple Barn Cookbook proved me wrong.

With recipes such as Apple Nut Crunch, Apple-Cinnamon Puffs, Apple Cider Salad and Sliced Apples In Wine I have found new ways to treat my family and to use up all those apples!

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
