Easter has always been a fun holiday around my house, but I have to admit that my family did not have any special Easter-food-traditions when I was growing up. Generally, we'd have a family bar-b-que and an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Sometimes we'd attend a special church service, and I have a few nice memories of Easter Sunrise Church Services on the beach in Florida when I was growing up. Although these are nice memories, I cannot recall anything that was "special" Easter food that my family prepared.This year I plan to make some special Easter treats with the aid of Carol Vale's wonderful book. The book is mostly filled with desserts, some bread recipes, and special treats, but all are fantastic and can become that "special" memory for my kids about Easter. A few of the recipes I plan on trying this Easter are: Hot Cross Bun Bites, Chocolate Easter Egg Tart, and White Chocolate Jelly Bean Easter Egg Crackle. I'm still having fun perusing the confections in the book and am not quite sure where to begin because all of the recipes are appealing - I may have to try a few out pre-Easter to make sure they are good and I know how to make them. I'm sure my kids won't mind at all.Carol Vale has a whole collection of great little cookbooks focused on one specialty area of cooking, and this one certainly stands out as one I will use repeatedly. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to make a memorable treat for the Easter Holiday.~Rocky Cole
