101 Gourmet Cupcakes in 10 Minutes
by Wendy Paul
Amazon Price: $11.55
Customer Review: I have to admit that I bought this cookbook to give as a birthday present. I have made the Oreo Cupcakes twice and a friend made the cupcakes with the Reese's Peanut Buttercup. Both very good recipes that people truly enjoyed. They are easy and fun. The peanut butter frosting is delicious and easy to make.
I am getting ready to finally give the book away and I am going to have to buy one for myself.
Italy for the Gourmet Traveler
by Fred Plotkin
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I have two earlier editions of this book; I could not wait for the new one to come out. I spend four months in Italy each year and have used Plotkin's notes extensively. I was so disappointed I returned the book. He had not updated many places, restaurants etc. that have changed over the last several years. One should use another guide book that is kept current. This is out of date in too many places.
Inventing Cuisine: Michel Bras
Amazon Price: $19.99
Customer Review: Some great comments and insights into the creative process of a brilliant chef. Great direction and approachable for non foodies as well.
Julia Child! America's Favorite Chef

Backpack Gourmet: Good Hot Grub You Can Make at Home, Dehydrate, and Pack for...
by Linda Frederick Yaffe
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: I am in charge of packing the food for my sister and I each Spring and Fall for ten days in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I started drying our own food after the first trip (up to 15 now).
I rate a book about back-country cooking by how many pages have corners turned down. I did turn down quite a few as I read through this book, but I didn't make any of the recipes for our latest trip. Why? I would think the food sounded really good, but then I would read about chop...
Gourmet Getaway Ski Patrol Red
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This is an attractive lunch tote. The absolute selling point is that it is spill proof and machine washable!
Nong Shim Shin Noodle Ramyun, Gourmet Spicy Picante, 4.2-Ounce Packages (Pack...
Amazon Price: $15.73
Customer Review: Just got my first order delivered yesterday, and they're really quite good! I haven't had the authentic, from-Korea ramyun (yet!) but this is much better than any ramen or other instant noodle you'll find in any typical American super market. The noodles are thicker, which means that you can cook them to the right degree (just until firm, not mushy) MUCH more easily than other brands of American noodle. It's really not that spicy, just enough to clear up your sinuses, and it's not a spicy-for-th...
Sea's Gift Korean Seaweed Snack (Kim Nori), Roasted & Sea Salted, 0.2-Ounce B...
Amazon Price: $18.90
Customer Review: These are delicious! The whole family loves them, even our 17 month old. We just can't seem to get enough of them. I wish the packs had more in them, we are often tempted to open a second up. Seasoned perfectly, and such a great light and crispy texture. Best seaweed snack out there for sure. W have them on auto ship, I could probably order 2 x's a month or even 2 boxes at a time! Yummy!!!
Bragg - Bragg Liquid Aminos, 16 fl oz liquid
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This stuff is unfermented soy sauce. I don't know what fermentation does for soy sauce, but what I know is that my low-sodium tamari soy sauce has about the same nutritional value as Bragg but tastes a whole lot better. Don't be fooled by the small serving size in Liquid Aminos, the sodium content is high; this is not a low sodium food (my tamari sauce contains less sodium per volume, and it's still high). The amino acid profile means nothing in small quantities, it's not like anyone drinks soy ...
KEFIR GRAINS - LIVE ORGANIC
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This stuff works like a miracle! It takes a few weeks to get good batches but it is worth the wait. I will never have to buy these again because they keep multiplying. Awesome product and everyone should learn about kefir.

Taylor 9842 Commercial Waterproof Digital Thermometer
Amazon Price: $13.78
Customer Review: Purchased this and within only one month of gentle and proper use the numbers faded out to where they finally disappeared completely. Amazon's customer service sent out a replacement and that one was dead upon arrival. Absolutely terrible quality. I would not risk buying from this brand, it is not a hardy or reliable thermometer.
Cuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel
Amazon Price: $39.99
Customer Review: I've never used a food processor before. I have had this now a year and use it every day. It is a great place to start with a food processor before you spend hundreds of dollars on the big chef units.
Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Half Cube Organizer
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I have several of these now, in different styles and sizes. The Half Cube is perfect for keeping the small things like socks, sleep shorts/top, and underwear organized and tidy in a suitcase or backpack. The Cube acts as a compression cube to hold an incredible amount of items.

El Yucateco Achiote Red Paste, 3.5 oz.
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I recently purchased Rick Bayless' Everyday Mexican and he suggested this as a pantry staple... We made King Mackeral with this as an marinade ingredient... It has a nice savory-smoky taste, not spicy... Definitely a staple in my pantry from now on!
Earth's Best Organic 2nd Gourmet Meals Variety Pack, 4-Ounce Jars (Pack of 12)
Amazon Price: $14.22
Customer Review: My 7 month old really enjoyed these meals, especially the Beef and Spinach and Summer vegetable dinner. These seemed a little less bland then most of the other "dinners" we've tried. The chicken mango risotto also has a nice combo of carrots, split pea, mango, chicken and whole grain rice flour.
J&D's Bacon Flavored Lip Balm, 4.5-Gram Tube (Pack of 4)
Amazon Price: $13.27
Customer Review: had such high hopes for the product from the other reviews. Sadly, smells like foul dog treats/wet dog/dog food/ick...smell so bad I can't even give them as gag gifts. too bad.

Amazon Price: $16.49
Customer Review: I paid for 2-3 day delivery. The item is now scheduled for 5 day delivery. If I had agreed to five day delivery, I would not have been charged shipping. I have been charged for 2-3 day delivery and received 5 day service.
Raw Pine Nuts
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: An internet search will indicate that certain pine nuts, primarily from China, cause a nasty and long lasting taste in the mouth. The condition has been named "Pine Mouth". I suffered from pine mouth for a month, and I am not yet fully recovered.
Brookside Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranates 2lb Bag
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I had ordered this item expecting something of quality to arrive, having tried similar wares from Costco. I was severely disappointed. The chocolates arrived in terrible shape, flaky, dry and truly tasting noting like what they should. There was absolutely no difference in taste between the chocolate outer shell and the inner fruit core, it all tasted like sugary cardboard. After digging deeper in the pack and observing it was all the same, there was little choice but to dispose of this excuse f...
Baby Gourmet - The First Course
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: This was an exciting introduction to Fruits & Vegetables for my 6 month old. He especially loved the other babies exploring along with him. I would definitely recommend this to other Moms who love nursery rimes and want their child to have an understanding of food, not just toys!A MOM from Los Angeles California.
Baby Gourmet - Spring & Summer Celebrations [VHS]
by Robert Warren, Katheryn
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: My daughter received both videos when she was 9 months old and just loves them! They are a great way to show different foods and presentations! The music combined with the characters and the food makes this video SO WORTHWHILE, all the others really cannot compare!

Eastman Outdoors 38229 Reveo MariVac Food Tumbler
Amazon Price: $171.41
Customer Review: Just FYI: the machine itself works well. If you plan on using it several times a week forget it. The plastic lid is made out of a material that cracks. I have personally reviewed TWO of these units and both units lasted less than 6 months (we got a replacement the first time). The machine part is solid, the motor is solid, what happens is the lid cracks and it can no longer hold the vacuum. The media rep we got the machines from was notified about the issue.

9-10" Shiitake Mushroom Log
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I ordered this as a fun item for my Biology classroom. I followed the directions to the letter. Not a single mushroom has appeared! I bought mushroom kits (not logs) last year and they were a great success. But this one was a complete waste of money. Look elsewhere before you too throw good money away.

Mountain House Freeze-Dried Rice and Chicken
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: The rice and chicken has to be the best out of all the ones I have tried. It just tastes perfect, not too salty not too dull nor too weird, just the perfect combination of rice and chicken.
This is one that you should pack when going camping or in other trips.
If you are hardcore and/or are a big guy consider getting the bag that serves 2 people. I could not finish that one so I'll get the 1 serving next time.

Zebra Mix Cupcake and Frosting Baking Activity Kit in a Treasure Tin
Amazon Price: $8.80
Customer Review: These cupcakes are the first mix my daughter made for me. This is such a smart idea. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with fun extra information and ideas for the kids to ponder while they stir. I appreciate the opportunity for her to experience the independence of doing a project on her own, with the bonus of her boost of self-confidence from a job well done. I don't always have the patience to show my girl how to cook. These mixes are a splendid relief for both of us! And I...
Educo Gourmet Chef Cuisine
Amazon Price: $19.06
Customer Review: I got this for my 15 month old. I like the fact that the paint is made out of "soy paint" and is safe for my baby. She likes to "cut" the vegetables and gets excited to see that one vegetable has become two pieces. She can cut the pieces and put them into her pot and "cook". She's still learning how to cook, but in the meantime, these pieces are very good for her to learn about food. The pieces are very sturdy and well polished. I like the way they feel and the size is very good for a todd...
