Unicorn Food – Croque-Unicorn – Review

The introduction to Unicorn Food describes the colorful world which they are attempting to create with the recipes from this cookbook. A balanced, colorful rainbow of food which will delight the eye while providing healthy eating, is the aim.

All of the recipes in the book recommend natural food coloring. Specialty cake shops carry natural food colorings. To make your own, use the provided list of the various foods which can create natural colors.

The recipes in this book are divided into two categories, Savory and Sweet. Each recipe includes the Prep time and Servings along with the ingredients and instructions.

With only 32 recipes in the book, it is short but sweet. It does cover a variety of different types of recipes giving an excellent selection.

Whimsical But Practical Recipes

The recipes throughout are whimsical but practical, there seems to be a rainbow-infused recipe for every occasion. I like the idea of using the natural food colorings or actual food to create the color rather than artificial dyes.

While not a children’s recipe book, I believe many of these recipes would be a huge hit at a unicorn themed kids party. That being said, Husband is insisting we make the Croque-Unicorn for Sunday brunch.

All of the ingredients seem to be very straightforward and easily sourced. I think this book has an excellent collection of imaginative recipes that everyone will enjoy.

For the included recipe I have included Husbands favorite, Croque-Unicorn. Enjoy!
