Book Review: Not Just for Kids Anymore
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up popsicles were simple affairs. Since my favorite color was and still is purple I would only eat grape popsicles. This meant our freezer was usually well stocked with cherry, lime, and orange until I got hard up enough to eat the other flavors. If I ever made homemade ice pops I did so covertly using Mountain Dew (I'm losing my mind a little just thinking about this) and an ice cube tray studded with toothpicks. As I've mentioned before I was a kitchen sneak. Occasionally I also attempted to recreate pudding pops in pastel Dixie cups but they never tasted as good as the ones Bill Cosby urged us to beg our moms for during Saturday morning cartoons. Unfortunately this led me to really not care for traditional popsicles at all.
But then I discovered Krystina Castella's new book: Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone (published by Quirk Books) and simply put I'm absolutely blown away by the fantastic liberties she has taken with what is generally considered by the vast majority of families as a frozen grape juice concoction topped off with a craft stick. Please believe me when I say that you have never seen popsicles like this before. These pops are multi-layered, full of complex flavors, and truly unique ingredient blends.
The table of contents includes sections on: Healthy Energy Pops, Fruit Juice Pops, Soda Fountain Pops, Cream and Pudding Pops, Coffee and Tea Pops, and Cocktail Pops. The "Cocktail Pops" section in particular caught my eye since it includes a Mojito Pop and I've been on a huge mojito kick lately. Other pops I can't wait to test out include Sweet Martini Pops, Thai Iced Coffee Pops, and Sugar Pumpkin Pops. I don't know about you, but Summer just got about twenty times more exciting for me! In the introduction to the cookbook Krystina mentions the term "kidults" and how popsicles fit right into this cupcake buying, toy loving, crafty "grown-up" lifestyle. I couldn't agree more.
