New hardcover books involve readers in a variety of topics. The king of ""kick it up a notch"" is back with Emeril's There's a Chef in My Family! Let's Get Everybody Cooking by Emeril Lagasse, illus. by Charles Yuen, photos by Quentin Bacon. This companion to Emeril's There's a Chef in My Soup dishes up 76 kid-friendly recipes for every course or occasion, from starters such as Tortellini in Brodo to finishing touches like Lemon Icebox Pie. Yuen's cartoonish depictions of the victuals (alongside photos of the chef or appreciative diners) ensure that no egos will be crushed if readers' results end up looking less-than-professional.
