Asian Dumplings: Mastering Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Samosas, and More by Andrea Nguyen (Ten Speed Press, 2009) is a 2010 IACP Cookbook awards finalist in the Single Subject category.

Baking Kids Love by Cindy Mushet and Sur La Table (Andrews McMeel, 2009) is a 2010 IACP Cookbook awards finalist in the Children, Youth and Family category.

small (and adults too).
It’s hard to choose a single favorite...
