A portion of the proceeds from The Braces Cookbook go to benefit Smiles for a Lifetime, a program that pays for dental care for high school students. Glyph Award winner.

Many of you know that I LOVE niche cookbooks. That’s why I was so pleased to receive copies of The Braces Cookbook and The Braces Cookbook 2 from The Discovery Box. Although, I have never worn braces I have endured more than my share of dental work because of loose or lost fillings, ugh! It seems you are always hungriest the moment you leave the dentist office.

These cookbooks offer alternative recipes and substitutions for some of our favorite dishes.

The Braces Cookbook
Written by Pamela Waterman, an author, editor and engineer.  And, Brenda Waterman, who was eleven years old when she created the concept of The Braces Cookbook. Here are a few examples:

Caramel Apple Days (this recipe inspired the cookbook) <<< -- LOVE THIS
Soft-Crust Pizza
Three-Corn Extravaganza (substitute when craving corn on the cob)

 Wirebound and nicely indexed with a section for notes in the back. Very simple recipes with fun tooth trivia throughout the book. Great for cooking with kids or for teens cooking alone. Thoughtful tips for eating out. Alas, no food photos However, it would make a great gift, especially if bundled with a few ingredients in a nice basket.

For this edition, Pamela Waterman teamed up with Chef Amee Hoge, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute of NYC and culinary instructor. It is definitely a step into the “adult” world with gourmet recipes and tips for dealing with braces in a business environment. There are wonderful  color photographs and simple tips accompanying the recipes. Here are a few of my favorites:

Creamed chicken puffs <<--- great quick appetizers you can make from leftovers
Roasted eggplant boats
Sausage chicken paella <<--- nice flavor
