We are celebrating with African Americans today on Juneteenth for their wonderful and significant contributions to American history and American culture. Phone lines are closed, but everything else is open as usual.
"There are few easier ways to help children learn to read and follow directions carefully than to ask them to prepare something from a recipe. My favorite Non-Book-Report assignment for youngsters who select cookbooks is the preparation of any recipe they choose. I've received some marvelous notes from family members and acquaintances commenting on delicious successes - or spectacular failures! A guide to basic foods and how to use them, introduction to the tools of a chef's trade, explanation of cooking terms and safety pointers invaluable for cooks young and old precede the more than one hundred recipes for basic foods - from soup (French onion) to nut raisin cookies in The Fannie Farmer Junior Cookbook. This is truly a must for any young chef's personal library. Remember it when parents next ask you for gift-book ideas." - Beverly Kobrin, Children's Literature.
