I have a bit of a problem, I think I might be a cookbook hoarder! Yes, that’s right. I have a zillion cookbooks. The irony is that I use almost all of them! I love cookbooks for inspiration, for quick recipes and to think of new and creative ways to pair items together. (www.losaltosresort.com) Plus, with two 4 year olds I don’t get time to read novels anymore but I always have time to look through a cookbook.
This month DK Books is celebrating all that we love about food and drink with 30% of their Food and Drink Boutique
Here are some of the great titles you can find:
Chef Morimoto is one of my husband and I’s favourites as we have been fans of Iron Chef for many years. His new cookbook brings a wide variety of culinary skills and expertise together in a way that everyone can learn from him and try out some of his masterpieces like Daikon Fettuccini

Our slow cooker is a kitchen saviour, especially on busy week nights. I love being able to pop in the ingredients in the morning and come home to dinner being ready. It’s like magic! The Slow Cook Book is filled with tons of recipes to make your slow cooker your kitchen hero!

I find breakfast the most challenging. We usually lack time and variety for the kids.
without a doubt, breakfast
Dinner, hard to come up with new ideas so we are not eating the same things all the time.
Breakfast! I’m not a morning person so I find it hard to get motivated to make a nice meal first thing.

Every meal can be a challenge, but making dinner for everyone during the week is the biggest challenge. Everyone has sports or an activity to get to and a nutritious meal is hard to get into them sometimes
I think dinner is the most challenging for me.
Lunch is the most challenging.
Dinner is the most challenging for us..
Anything related to dinner. I don’t have problems with lunch and breakfast.

I’d love some new recipes for dinner to make it more interesting and varied
I find dinner the most difficult to be inspired about.
Lunch. Unless we are having leftovers, we often have sandwiches, which is getting a bit boring for me.
Every family meal. With 5 kids, who are all picky but in different ways, meal times is always a struggle, especially lunches and dinner.
Breakfast is my biggest challenge. I usually feel pretty ill in the mornings, so cereal and a piece of fruit is our go to. This looks like a great book!

I often have trouble knowing what to serve for supper – I need some inspiration – I like something quick and easy!
Holiday meals – all the hours in prep and cooking and the meal is over in 15 minutes.
Lunch. I find that I have to make everyone different meals and it’s hard to get inspired about a meal that we don’t eat together.
I think breakfast is the most challengeing because im not a morning person.
Holiday Meals
I find lunch is often the most uninspired meal of the day. Too busy to take a lot of time. Usually ends up being leftovers.
Dinner is the most difficult.
Breakfast.. it gets boring after a while.
dinner, it’s hard to come up with new ideas
Fish because I don’t really know how to cook it. I do try.

Dinner is challenging for me. Just coming up with new ideas and something to please the whole family is so hard sometimes.
Christmas Dinner without a doubt!! So many hungry family members that you don’t want to disappoint with a National Lampoon’s type of turkey.
Dinner is hardest for me, especially the sides.
I find lunch to be the hardest.
Dinner… especially in summer when we are busy!
I struggle a lot with dinner! Sometimes I just end up making the same things over and over again.
Usually dinner and we’ve had a few really “off” things because of it. For example, fish is not a favorite but when I run out of ideas it is a forced meal!
