Resolution #4: Throw away the take-out menus and cook more often.

In comes Kitchen Scraps ($29.95) by Calgarian Pierre A. Lamielle, an illustrator who studied at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Filled with simple recipes accompanied by Lamielle’s Burton-esque drawings, this kitchen helper is broken into four sections: “Food You Eat With a Spoon,” “Food You Eat With a Fork,” “Food You Eat With a Forkenknife,” and “Food You Eat With a Hand” and includes cleverly named recipes like  “Vampire Slayer’s Garlic-Laced Chicken,” and one of Lamielle’s favourites, “Snails in the Garden” (deep friend escargots in a salad).
