Alabama CASA presents Kooking for the Kids---a cookbook comprised of over 437 recipes submitted by CASA friends, including judges, foster parents, social workers, law enforcement officers, teachers as well as CASA volunteers, staff and board members. The durable, spiral cookbook serves as a compliment to the vibrant, multi-colored cover that celebrates a variety of foods and pastries.
Kooking for the Kids is divided into seven variety-filled sections that we guarantee will tickle your fancy: Appetizers, Relishes & Pickles; Soups, Salads & Sauces; Meats & Main Dishes; Vegetables; Breads, Rolls & Pastries; Cakes, Cookies & Desserts; and Beverages, Microwave & Miscellaneous.
Kooking for the Kids also contains an index of recipes divided by section, an alphabetical list of contributors, an order form, a dedication page, a list of Alabama CASA/CAJA programs, and for the heath conscious, a guide to healthy cooking and eating. It even has a section where you can write down your favorite recipes to use as a quick reference when you don’t have time
to look for them.
Kooking for the Kids is dedicated to Brittany, a little girl who had been sexually molested by two men before the tender age of four. She had been abused and neglected by her parents and left to be the caretaker for her two-year-old and two-month old little brothers. She had never held a fork or spoon, only eating with her little hands when food was available (which was not very often).
When CASA was first assigned to her case, she often ate until she vomited---afraid the bountiful food would go away. It was hard for her to comprehend that it was not necessary to hoard food under the bed or sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night and eat from bowls in the fridge with her bare hands. Her loving foster mother had to constantly assure her there would always be plenty of food.
Kooking for the Kids is not just a cookbook; it’s a written testament of compassion and devotion as seen through the eyes of CASA friends, staff and volunteers. Cooking is a great way to bond and spend quality time with friends and family and have fun doing it!
All proceeds from the Kooking for the Kids help us continue providing a powerful voice for the abused and neglected children in Alabama.
