Roald Dahl (Author) The son of Norwegian parents, Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916 and educated at Repton. He was a fighter pilot for the RAF during World War Two, and it was while writing about his experiences during this time that he started his career as an author. His fabulously popular children's books are read by children all over the world. He died in November 1990.Quentin Blake (Illustrator) Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember. He taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, of which he is an honorary professor. He has won many prizes, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal, and in 1999 he was appointed the first Children's Laureate. In the 2013 New Year's Honours List he was knighted for services to illustration.
Gr. 4-6. A somewhat problematic companion volume to Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes (1994), this cookbook presents 31 recipes for foods and drinks mentioned in Dahl's books. Each selection begins with a quote and a list of equipment and supplies, followed by detailed instructions for making the treat. Adult assistance is suggested for deep-frying and sometimes for activities involving food processors and boiling syrup, but not for baking, frying, or using electric mixers. Safety issues aside, children young enough to enjoy Dahl's books will need help with most of the recipes here. As in the previous cookbook, the illustrations begin with photos of the finished food, to which Blake adds his amusing ink drawings, washed with gentle colors. Dishes featured include "Hornets Stewed in Tar" (seed brittle), "Devil's Drencher" (frozen fruit dessert/drink), and "Lizards' Tails" (raw shrimp chopped and blended with garlic, mint, and scallions, broiled, and served with a chili/mint dipping sauce). Although lively, this offering for "all ages" seems to lose sight of the skills of its likeliest audience. For larger collections. Carolyn Phelan
