A comeback
cookbook for the perennially popular snack cake, with 50 unique sweet
and savory recipes that highlight the whimsical nostalgia of America's
favorite dessert.
For more than 80 years, Twinkies have
captivated the cravings of Americans both young and old. The Twinkies
Cookbook, Second Edition explores the snack cake's heritage in the
United States while celebrating its popularity in recipes for snacks

Twinkie-aficionados across the nation to submit their favorite dishes
featuring the cream-filled sponge cake. This new edition compiles the
best of these colorful concoctions with 25 new recipes and additional
photography. From a Twinkie-filled take on chicken and waffles to
Twinkie pumpkin pie, these surprising and innovative recipes are a small
slice of Americana that will be a hit with Twinkies fans across the
country.
Review: I was given a copy of The Twinkies Cookbook....For an honest review and this is the review.
When
I saw the title of this book I knew I had to have it because one of my
favorite desserts as a child was Twinkie Cake that my mother would make
for a special treat so I wanted to see what else what there to make and
in my wildest dreams I had no idea what people made with Twinkies.
Anyway,
the first part of the book was a nice touch it had a bit of history of
the Twinkie and then also a bit about when the Twinkie was unavailable.
Then we get to the recipes where I found I number that I can't wait to
try and others that I am just not sure if I am ready for them yet. If
you want to know how to make Twinkie pancakes or Corn dog Twinkies or
one that sounds yummy to me Twinkie Lasagna this is the book for you.
There are recipes under so many categories it blew my mind how many
things you can make with Twinkies.
It is because of how informative
this book was and how it opened my eyes up with all the uses of the
Twinkie that I am giving this cookbook a five out of five rating.
