Authors in the Kitchen - Recipes, Stories, and More

It might be fun to say, Oh, this is Gail Gibbonss apple pie, or This is Janet Stevenss potato soup as you serve up these recipes. This book includes a hodgepodge of different foods, a photo and biographical sketch of each contributor, and a longer statement or anecdote that relates to the fare. Booklists for each entry give readers a good overview of the artists work or enrich a subject generated by the contributors comment, such as childrens resources about Marco Polo with Kathy Feeneys recipe for MarcoRoni, titles relating to immigration with Betsy Maestros Russian Borscht, or a list of 100-day tales accompanying Keiko Kaszas submission. Organized alphabetically by author, the recipes are not for novices. Many require expertise in the kitchen, and some a sophisticated array of tools. The list of 50 authors and illustrators does not read as a Whos Who in childrens literature, but there are enough stars to establish a recognizable compilation of familiar names. Not to imply that childrens authors are unhealthy eaters, but desserts are plentiful and most of the entries will not accommodate a health-conscious diet.–Janet S. Thompson, Chicago Public Library
