last month
an advance copy
of
an advance copy
of
joy the baker's new cookbook
arrived in the post
all
colorful and cheery
from the first visual
you know
who.joy. is.
i began to wonder
did she change her name
to meet her personality?
or is it just
a
wonderful coinkydink?
joy the baker cookbook
is
a great big
bubblegum pink
smiley face
only joy
can present
food
which
on the surface
looks like stuff your face
after a brutal break-up
food
(chocolate hazelnut spread w/orange cream cheese grilled sandwiches)
in such a way
that you think
oh!
this would be a great treat
for a girlfriend's brunch
(buttermilk skillet cake with walnut praline topping)
or
grams 90th
(araby spice cake with lemon glaze)
or
an rainy afternoon, never get out of your pjs
all alone-comfy couch
bridget jones double-feature
(single girl melty chocolate cake--chased by parmesan seaweed popcorn
and maybe?--a pineapple malted milkshake for the final act)
please don't misunderstand
this is not all fun and games
the recipes
are
carefully crafted
wholesome ingredients
like flax seed and honey
weave into puds as casually
as
well worn kickers at a rodeo
making it almost possible
to
say
not only is it good
it is good for ya'
without the accompanying
smirk and snicker
i have done a bit of baking with joy
flax seed crackers
baked coffee cake french toast
and
whole wheat honey and goat cheese drop biscuits
my smattered copy
sports plenty more
earmarked pages
definite, definite
wanna trys
chili cheese fries
dark chocolate and anise biscotti
chocolate and salty peanut butter ice cream
toasted coconut dutch baby
and
vegan pumpkin pecan bread
this book
like joy
is
charming
