Reading Nook

Anyone who has opened Facebook or Instagram has seen those food video recipes, typically shot from above, from Tasty. Whether you share, like or make them many are destined to whet the appetite.

Now, instead of logging into Facebook you can reach for your very own cookbook featuring many of those recipes. Tasty, the instructional cooking arm of BuzzFeed, is out with Tasty Latest & Greatest: Everything You Want to Cook Right Now (Clarkson Potter/Publishers $19.99). There are more than 80 recipes spread over 192 pages in nine chapters. The photos are mouth-watering and recipes are easy-to-follow and don't require a lot of ingredients or equipment.

Included are chapters on party fare, vegetarian fare and trending recipes. Recipe highlights include Jalapeno Popper Dip, Sliders Four Ways and Fried Mac 'N' Cheese Sticks. Not every recipe has a photo, but most do including some step-by-step photos. Vegetarian recipes feature Baked Buffalo Cauliflower, Peanut Noodle Pasta and Vegan Mac 'N' Cheese.

There are also entree recipes designed for weeknight cooking and dessert recipes including the Chewiest Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever. The recipes are user friendly with ingredients needed in bold.
