Welcome to my Kitchen and my Bookshelf where I pair a delicious recipe with a wonderful book! Today, we will enjoy a gluten free cookie made with almond flour and a fragrant touch of rose water straight from Morocco (courtesy of my Brother-In-Law - Thanks!!). This recipe is super easy; the dough comes together in just one bowl. The cookies can be shaped into 20-30 gram balls that are then rolled into a fluffy coating of powdered sugar. They hold their shape after a quick bake and in 30 minutes or less, you will be enjoying this sweet morsel with your tea or coffee (or warm oat milk, if you desire). Take some time to read, alone or with another, the wordless picture book I have paired for you. Picture books are not just for children. Picture books truly are for anyone who wants to engage with a story through the amazing art of illustration. The book Mirror by Jeannie Baker takes us on a journey that compares a day in the life of two families from very different parts of the world: Australia and Morocco. From Bookshop.org: "An innovative, two-in-one picture book follows a parallel day in the life of two families: one in a Western city and one in a North African village.Somewhere in Sydney, Australia, a boy and his family wake up, eat breakfast, and head out for a busy day of shopping. Meanwhile, in a small village in Morocco, a boy and his family go through their own morning routines and set out to a bustling market. In this ingenious, wordless picture book, readers are invited to compare, page by page, the activities and surroundings of children in two different cultures. Their lives may at first seem quite unalike, but a closer look reveals that there are many things, some unexpected, that connect them as well. Designed to be read side by side -- one from the left and the other from the right -- these intriguing stories are told entirely through richly detailed collage illustrations." Ingredients:
