With positive reviews from the likes of Bobby Flay and Ina Garten, The Mom 100 Cookbook ($16.95, 364 pp.) written by Katie Workman, is sure to be the Joy of Cooking for mothers of this generation. With quirky tips like how to get sticky substances out of measuring cups and how to freeze presumably un-freezable foods like soups and stews, Workman will catch the attention of eyes and stomachs around the world. She also touches the sensitive subject of kids eating healthier, something she insists the younger generation works on. The founding editor in chief of Cookstr.com, Workman gives every mother little secrets that will get them through those everyday cooking dilemmas.
