Tasty Crochet: A Pantry Full of Patterns for 33 Tasty Treats by Rose Langlitz. North Light Books (March 27, 2009)

I have been seeing tasty crochet foods all over the net for the past few years and am so happy that someone has finally put together a crochet play food pattern book. This wonderful crochet book is full of yummy things to eat crochet – so if all your friends and family have enough blankets and hats then get crocheting something a little more frivolous and fun.

None of the patterns and designs are really that difficult – if you can do basic crochet stitches and follow a pattern then you can make these projects – fried eggs, apple wedges (very realistic), sushi, peanut butter sandwiches, cherry tomatoes on the vine (adorable), chicken drumsticks, mushrooms and asparagus, pizza (with a side salad – love it), chocolate chip cookies are fantastic, Neapolitan icecream sandwich (my fave), icecream cones and more.

Such a fun book with good crochet basics to boot.
