Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook for Young Readers & Eaters
By Jane Yolen and Heidi E.Y. Stemple |
|
|  Any new book from celebrated children’s author Jane Yolen is an event, but when it is a collection of classic fairy tales accompanied by recipes, it becomes a lip-smacking banquet! And that is just what Jane Yolen serves up in Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook for Young Readers and Eaters, with delicious and accessible recipes by her daughter, Heidi E.Y. Stemple, all washed down with the marvelous and colorful illustrations of Philippe Béha.
Whether retelling a well-known tale like “Cinderella” (with Pumpkin Tartlets), an Aesop’s Fable like “The Fox and the Grapes” (with Fruit Salad), a “wise-fool” tale like “Hodja Borrows a Pot” (with Hodja’s Kebabs), or a Yolen original like “Seven Hills of Sweet” (with Sweet Chocolate Mousse), each story is delivered with perfect read-aloud pitch. Fascinating sidebars provide the history of each tale, and other background information about the stories and the recipes.
The author brings her usual wit, charm, and scholarship to this amuse-bouche of a book, making Fairy Tale Feasts deliciously entertaining for children and adults of all ages. Heidi E.Y. Stemple’s child-friendly recipes, tested with and by her own daughter, Maddison, are entertainingly delicious, and Philippe Béha’s wonderful and unusual illustrations are the icing on this mouth-watering treat of a book.
