Nerdy

Here at BPL, we really nerd out over a quirky cookbook, so what better title to feature this month, other than The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook: Sweet Treats for the Geek in All of Us by Rosanna Pansino. This cookbook was inspired by Pansino's incredibly popular baking show – Nerdy Nummies, which premiered in 2011. Pansino’s following exploded on YouTube, making her one of the most-watched Youtubers. Nerdy Nummies is her first cookbook, but in 2018, she released another titled, Baking All Year Round: Holidays & Special Occasions. Nerdy Nummies is divided into 6 different chapters: Math & Science, Space, Fantasy & Sci-Fi, Gaming, Tech & Web, and Geeky Treats. It also has many wonderful tools such as tips/techniques, how-tos, templates, resource guides, conversion charts, and much more. Quirky photoshoots, and unique photography really capture how yummy all of these treats are! Amazon’s description of this book states, “Her fondness for video games, science fiction, math, comics, and lots of other things considered “nerdy” have inspired every recipe in this book. You’ll find the recipes for many beloved fan favorites from the show, such as Apple Pi Pie, the Chocolate Chip Smart Cookie, and Volcano Cake; as well as many new geeky recipes, such as Dinosaur Fossil Cake, Moon Phase Macarons, and the Periodic Table of Cupcakes”. If you’re hosting an event that could use some themed snacks or desserts, this book couldn’t be more perfect! For treats that all ages will eat up (literally!), find this title under the call number “641.865 Pan” in the Adult Department.
