I hope this becomes more widely available because this was so much fun & I would love to experience it in a language I'm more confident in.

I think "cute" and "whimsical" sum up this book fairly well and agree with some other reviewers that this is a story meant to be read aloud.

More of a culinary snapshot of the 90s instead of a reference cookbook at this point, but it was quite interesting to flip through.

"Jennie's Curried Chicken + Potatoes" and the "Olive Oil + Buttermilk Loaf" were both absolutely delicious and will likely become staples in our house.
