Once Upon a Time in the Kitchen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have you ever wondered what your favorite (child's) story's characters' favorite foods would taste like? The answer to your wonderings can be found in "Once Upon a Time in the Kitchen: Recipes and Tales from Classic Children's Stories", an imaginative collection of recipes and tales from classic children's stories. Here we have a recipe for Shortbread Stars from Hans Christian Anderson's "The Fir Tree." How delicious they will smell, reminding children of the trembling feelings of the fir tree when it was decorated goodies, candles, toys and a shining star on the very top. How beautiful it was. Or maybe you would prefer some Huckleberry Corn Rafts, delicious reminders of the corn dodgers eaten on a raft in Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." then there's Mowgli Magnificent Muesli, a wonderful natural breakfast food recipe suggested by Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book." All recipes list ingredients first, then give simple step-by-step directions. Alongside each recipe on the facing page is an excerpt from the children's classic which inspired it. Thus, "Once Upon a Time in the Kitchen" directly inspires young chefs to create edible masterpieces and then to read about their source of inspiration. Some recipes will require more care and adult supervision than others, but most are accessible to children age 9 and up. Delightful illustrations of both literary pages and recipes help to embellish and embed the wonderful thoughts of delightful foods for mind and body.
