About the Book
This is Book 1 in the Chirpy’s Flavor Frontier Series Family Cookbooks where every recipe is tied to a story that sparks imagination and togetherness.
In Meet Chirpy Gourmet, readers are introduced to Chirpy’s playful spirit and her childhood growing up surrounded by family, fresh ingredients, and the joy of cooking together.
Next we discover Chirpy's hometown of Dazzelton—a sparkly town by Cocoa Slope Mountain, where the air smells of vanilla, cocoa, and sea salt. With sweet memories of her grandparents and Rootie’s legendary floats.
And then comes Islamorada Sunset Sizzle— a Florida Keys adventure. Chirpy’s Brazilian friends welcome her with a tropical barbecue, fishing and snorkeling the crystal blue waters, and a feast of friendship, flavor, and fun.
Each Chirpy Gourmet story ends with family-friendly recipes and full-color food photos, so you can bring Chirpy’s adventures to life in your own kitchen.
