Caldecott-winning author Yolen and her daughter, Stemple, encourage future cooks and storytellers to make up their own versions of the classic folk tales and the history of foods.
This book is the perfect combination of cookbook and fairy tales. Each story is told then a recipe is given which represents the story. Lots of fun for moms and children together!
This is fabulous!

I have always absolutely loved Jane Yolen and having a cookbook written by her is just a dream come true. My son, six years old, is the perfect age for being engaged in the stories AND cooking the resulting recipes. He loves this book. Ms. Yolen has written many of our family's favorites, including Sacred Places and Child of Fairie, Child of Earth. Anything that has her name on it, I will carefully consider. She's amazing.
Fairy Tale Meals

This book has the most beautiful illustrations on each page. One gets the feeling that the recipes will be as wonderful as the pictures! The recipes are also very unusual such as Cinderella's "Pumpkin tarts" from her infamous carriage ride with the prince. It also has the most unique memorabilia in the index on each page. I learned things I had totally forgotten since my childhood days when the fables were more truth than fiction. It's a book that will be passed onto the children of the children reading it!
An outstanding collection
