Are you isolating at home with children? Or maybe just your furry friends? Authors Melina Hammer and Brandon Shultz make mealtime fun for everyone in the family. Filled with over 75 surprisingly sophisticated and healthy recipes, Melina's bestselling cookbook, Kid Chef: The Foodie Kids Cookbook, is a crash course in culinary training. And Brandon's two volumes of recipes called Cooking For Two are filled with ideas for meals that pet lovers can safely share with their cat and dog.

Finally, blogger and cookbook author Edwin Garrubo invites us all to his family's Sunday Pasta supper, with a year's worth of pasta recipes from his book of the same name.
