This term I thought I would share a new book bought for me by my wife. She knew the title of the book, but could not remember the author, so went into Kinokuniya, Singapore (the largest booshop in Asia), walked up to the help desk and said "Hello I am looking for a book titled How to Cook Children". Without looking up the girl started searching, pausing after a few minutes to say " so it's How to Cook For Children that you are looking for?"
"No" said my wife "How to Cook Children". Looking perplexed and ever so slightly worried the young assistant searched again, to her amazement found the book and went off to find it. Presumably in the cooking section.
I love it. With international star chefs such as Janie Grolliver cooking Kate and Sidney Pie (Pucka!) and all sorts of gastronomic treats from across the world probably best left untried, I would really recommend it for any age. The illustrations are very detailed and add to the general humour of the whole book.
As always it will be coming to a library near you soon!
