Half-Baked Brilliance
I was first introduced to the lovely Clare Crespo through her cook books The Secret Life of Food and Hey there, Cupcake! filled with recipes for food in disguise - cookies dressed up like tarantulas, meatloaf masquerading as a football, and cupcakes pretending to be igloos, peppermint candies and erupting volcanoes.
Well, not one to be confined between the pages of a cookbook ‘Yummy Clare’ has been busy filming YummyFun Kooking. If Pee Wee Herman had a show on the Food Network it might come close to Clare’s crazy culinary adventures. Utterly charming and funny, I’m completely hooked on this kid cooking show filled with songs, puppets and good humor. Three episodes are now available on DVD and would make great gifts. Here’s a sneak preview:
Purchase your copies by poking around the YummyFun online pantry and keep up with Clare on her blog. Even better, consider becoming a member of the YummyFun Kooking Club - subscriptions include a great kitchen starter kit and recipes in the mail every month!
