Hardback. Condition: Good. They?re easy. They?re silly. They?re healthy. They?re clever. They?re artistic. They?re delicious. They?re fun. They?re a great way to start the day. One breakfast at a time, Bill and Claire Wurtzel are determined to make you laugh and eat and play and laugh some more. Riffing over the years with oatmeal, eggs, apples, and nuts, it is finally ours to share?Funny Food!   Not since Joost Elffers? Play With Your Food has food been so ridiculous and so endlessly diverting. Parents and children will giggle through breakfast. Teachers and students can laugh some more making snacks or desserts after lunch. This is a book filled with nothing but engaging spontaneity and simplicity that makes you say, ?I can do that.?

Sometimes the plates are just plain fanciful. ?Your breakfasts don?t have to look like they?ll hang in the Louvre,? he says. ?It?s the gesture that counts.? But it sure looks like he riffed on Matisse?s paper cutout dancers with a papaya.   In addition to creating Funny Food - which contains both recipes and how-to photographs - Bill and Claire have been conducting workshops for children at Public School 188 on the Lower East Side of New York, teaching them to use their imaginations to improve their health ?rather than just putting lettuce and vegetables on their trays.. …
