Illustrated by
Erik Blegvad.
Now in its fortieth anniversary edition, this tongue-in-cheek cookbook brings a certain savoir-faire to the sawdust-and-grass-clippings school of cuisine. "Place 6 medium-size rocks in an oven and roast until hard on the outside but still rare inside . . . . Roast Rocks tend to be difficult to slice, so serve each doll a whole rock. Serves 6." Blegvad's delicate black-and-white etchings add just the right ornamentation.
