Here's a book for younger readers ... Women In Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World, written and illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky. The writing is excellent and the mini-bios of each women are very interesting, but I, personally, found the layout distracting. (Pictures, side bits of information, etc.) I am sure it's a sign of my age, however, and that readers that have grown up with graphic novels and so forth will thoroughly enjoy this book!

As much as I am not a cook I picked up Grilled Cheese Kitchen: Bread & Cheese & Everything In Between, by Heidi Gibson with Nate Pollock, and photographs by Antonis Achilleos anyway. My favorite comfort food is a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of cream of tomato soup. This is that old standby taken to the extreme! There's more than just sandwiches, too, recipes includes soups, stews, mac & cheese, even ideas for breakfast. I'm thinking I will pass the book on to my cooking friends with some strategically placed bookmarks. :-)
