snackspirations edition I

Snackspirations is an affordable way to lure the poor and uninspired cooks into their kitchens. As the first volume of a Snackspirations cookbook series, Befores and Afters is a recipe book “For People Who Would Rather Just Stick to the Good Stuff.” Recipes include dips and spreads, snacks and sandwiches, as well as desserts and baked goods. Aimed toward young people who are living cheaply on their own or off their parents’ good graces, Snackspirations’ intent is to help young adults feel more comfortable engaging in homemade snack preparation instead of spending tons of money on frozen or prepackaged foods. Even if cooking for oneself or others isn’t someone’s dish (so to speak), it’s an important skill and a helpful money-saving habit. Snackspirations has about 25 snacks collected from friends and family.
