Book Report - Carol Recommends

Food IQ: 100 Questions, Answers, and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts by Daniel Holzman & Matt Rodbard
Book Report - Carol Recommends

This book consists of a bunch of questions and answers to those questions. Sort of a narrative and then sometimes a Q&A with a celebrity Friend of Food IQ; Ina Garten, Jose R. Ralat, illustrations, photographs, and maybe a related recipe.

Things like “What is Kobe beef, and is it really better?” and “What’s the difference between hot smoking and cold smoking?”

Frankly, I’d never heard of cold smoking and now I know it’s smoking at a low temperature to flavor and preserve food without cooking. Fun fact for me. Included is how to make the perfect cup of coffee and how to cook tasty liver, heart, and beef tongue. And how to make homemade hummus.

I don’t see this title being used as a cookbook or a reference book but rather for browsing. Chances are you’ll hit on something interesting and you might want to try a recipe or two. This one is fun and entertaining.

This title is available in print at the Library and downloadable ebook through Overdrive/Libby.

I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you!

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
