Reading Copy Book Blog

If you’re not sure because you’ve never tried them, now you can!  Yesterday’s edition of our local newspaper in Victoria tipped me off to a new recipe collection, the Green Eggs & Ham Cookbook.  I recalled my childhood excitement over the silliness of Dr Seuss and such a meal but then I became intrigued - what do green eggs and ham taste like?  Would I, could I in a house?  I guess I’ll have to get the book and try out the recipe to know for sure!

And lo and behold, while looking up the Green Eggs & Ham Cookbook, I discovered that there is also a recently released Mary Poppins recipe book, Mary Poppins in the Kitchen: A Cookery Book with a Story.  This book cleverly presents recipes as a story of a week where Mary Poppins goes beyond a spoonful of sugar and teaches the Banks children how to cook.  

These two books have piqued my interest to see what other childrens’ books have become inspiration for cookery books!
