Finalist
Cookbook: General
2022 Best Book Awards

Level up your cook game with 'Badass Cookery & General Shenanigans' - the cookbook written for those that hate cookbooks. Most cookbooks read like the instructions to Swedish Furniture and are intimidating, boring, or both. This book is over 150 pages of nerdery, fun facts, movie references, kitchen hacks, cooking tips, and of course, badass recipes. Whether you're a seasoned kitchen warrior or are just learning to cook, these recipes are easy to follow and affordable (because they're based on cooking for two and not the Offensive Line of an NFL Team). Recipes include simple, family favorites like Tacos, Burgers, and Buffalo Wings, as well as some unique dishes from all corners of the globe: French Onion Soup Sliders, Poutine Chicken Sandwiches, Cajun Smothered Chops, Grilled Citrus-Shrimp Tacos, Thai-Style Mussels & Clams, Bulgogi Short Ribs, and a delicious assortment of Apps, Salads, Veggies, and Sides.

More Veggies Please! by Nikki Dinki

Finalist
Cookbook: General
2022 Best Book Awards

Looking for ways to get your kids to eat more veggies?

Packed with creative recipes, this modern approach to classic family comfort foods ups the nutritional ante—infusing TONS of healthful vegetables into every dish (even snacks and desserts!)—while always putting flavor first.

As a chef and cookbook author, Nikki Dinki loves veggies. But like most parents, getting her kids to love them is a work in progress. There will always be a side of veggies on their dinner plates, but when those veggies go untouched, Nikki doesn’t stress. That’s because her cooking incorporates vegetables at every turn: the kids may not have eaten their sides of peas, but they ate cauliflower and sweet potatoes in their Mac and Cheese, devoured Green Eggs (with spinach) and White Bean Pancakes for breakfast, and asked for seconds of the Zucchini Crust Pizzas at lunch!

In The Provider Cookbook, Belding and Mendes share recipes and stories to celebrate this way of life and keep it alive for generations to come.
