Recipes by Heidi E. Y. Stemple. Children's literature is rife with food references, so pairing traditional tales with recipes is a natural. Nineteen tales (most hailing from Europe) and one original folktale are followed by related recipes (e.g., "Brer Rabbit" and carrot soup) of varying difficulty. Ample white space, glossy paper, and playful illustrations make this a handsome volume. Sidebars address story origins and main ingredients.
