OP: The Pooh Cook Book
E. P. Dutton & Co., New York, 1969. Hardcover. Very Good Minus. First printing.
With 60 recipes accompanied by Winnie-the-Pooh quotes and illustrations, The Pooh Cook Book (1969) is a warm and feel-good balm for the soul. In her introduction, Virginia Ellison sets that tone with the quote, “‘What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying, “What about a little something?” and Me saying, “Well, I shouldn’t mind a little something, should you, Piglet,” and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and the birds singing.’”
The recipes are simple but not coddling and range from deviled eggs and watercress sandwiches to popovers, corn and shrimp chowder, and lamb patties with mint sauce. Wherever you or your young one is in your cooking journey, there will be something to hit the mark.
Our copy is a Very Good Minus first printing with some soiling throughout the book block. The jacket is price clipped and lightly worn. A great gift to brighten someone’s day.
