(3) 4-6 Checkerboard How-To Library: Cool Food Art series. Each book begins with kitchen basics--safety, ingredients, equipment, techniques--necessary to prepare the volume's "food art." Photographs provide clear step-by-step instructions as well as images of the finished products. The series' theme, "Play with Your Food!", is more creativity-driven than recipe-driven, and improvisation is encouraged. The results will be, at best, wacky food art, and, at worst, a mess in the kitchen. Glos., ind. Review covers these Checkerboard How-To Library: Cool Food Art titles: Cool Cake and Cupcake Food Art, Cool Creepy Food Art, Cool Fruit and Veggie Food Art, and Cool Holiday Food Art.
