The Twinkies Cookbook
Need a creative idea for a wedding cake? A quick side dish for a pork loin? A "potluck" dessert or a sensationally sweet midnight snack? The Twinkies Cookbook, which debuts in stores today, has something for everyone. From Twinkie-Misu to Pigs in a Twinkie, the unusual collection features nearly 50 sweet and savory recipes invented in kitchens throughout America.

Also featured in the book, Texas rancher Karen Oney pays tribute to her grandmother with a recipe for a Twinkie Banana Split, a treat she describes as "an easy dessert to prepare at the end of a long day feeding livestock ... " Hudson, Ohio's Mary Caine does the same with Grandma Jo's Twinkie Jell-O Dessert, which she says dates back to the 1960s and is the "ultimate comfort food."

New York City resident Nolan Studley depicts his Twinkies-Pecan Bananas Foster as "an avant-garde take on the most old-school dessert around." Kansas City's Soraya Hamid notes that the scent of pumpkin in her Pumpkin Twinkie Bread Pudding is an "aphrodisiac for men."

Peter Sheridan reveals he found inspiration for the Twinkie Burrito at his wife's Washington, D.C. area Mexican restaurant. And Ed Dubroski says his Twinkie Ice Cream has been a "hit" at Country Cow Creamery, his Colonia, New Jersey store.

The cookbook can be picked up at any local bookstore or at http://www.hostesscakes.com/.

Monk Goes Under the Cover

In the new book, Monk's house is being fumigated, and he has nowhere to go. Fortunately, his assistant Natalie and her daughter are kind enough to welcome him into their home. Unfortunately, their home is not quite up to Monk's standards of cleanliness and order.

But while Monk attempts to arrange his surroundings just so, something else needs to be put straight. The death of a dog at the local firehouse-on the same night as a fatal house fire-has led Monk into a puzzling mystery. And much to his horror, he's going to have to dig through a lot of dirt to find the answer.
