I was at my son’s book fair a couple months ago, and a cookbook caught my eye. Not something unusual, many cookbooks catch my eye. My husband says it’s an addiction.

The Fairies Cookbook, by Barbera Beery is an adorable book inside and out. If you have a little girl in your life, or you’re planning a fairy theme birthday party this book is perfect. It’s loaded with fun ideas like fairy garden cottages, flower power punch, and unicorn calzones.

Beery also authors another cookbook called the Pink Princess Cookbook. I haven’t checked that one out yet. If it’s anything like the Fairies Cookbook I’m sure it’s adorable too. If you’re planning a princess party it would be worth looking through.

Both books are hardback, and spiral bound. I may have to get the Princess cookbook just to see what’s in there.

I recently had the opportunity to preview the new Cooking Light Complete Cookbook: A Fresh New Way to Cook from Oxmoor House.  I was very impressed. It has over 1200 recipes, and 600+ photos. It has cakes, cookies, and a complete entertainment section with a countdown to your party. Their checklist can help you plan your party from beginning to end. They have some great ideas for unique touches to make your party memorable. From a Mother’s Day Brunch to a 4th of July Celebration the Cooking Light Complete Cookbook has wonderful recipes and more.

They’ve also included a section on how to make perfect cakes. There’s nothing better than a cake made from scratch. The recipes look wonderful, and most look easy to make. They have Turtle Cake, Coffee Cupcakes, Chocolate Cheesecake (Yum!) and many more.

I’m truly loving this cookbook, it became my new favorite the day it arrived in the mail.
