It might be fun to say, Oh, this is Gail Gibbons's apple pie," or "This is Janet Stevens's potato soup" as you serve up these recipes. This book includes a hodgepodge of different foods, a photo and biographical sketch of each contributor, and a longer statement or anecdote that relates to the fare. Booklists for each entry give readers a good overview of the artist's work or enrich a subject generated by the contributor's comment, such as children's resources about Marco Polo with Kathy Feeney's recipe for MarcoRoni, titles relating to immigration with Betsy Maestro's Russian Borscht, or a list of 100-day tales accompanying Keiko Kasza's submission. Organized alphabetically by author, the recipes are not for novices. Many require expertise in the kitchen, and some a sophisticated array of tools. The list of 50 authors and illustrators does not read as a Who's Who in children's literature, but there are enough stars to establish a recognizable compilation of familiar names. Not to imply that children's authors are unhealthy eaters, but desserts are plentiful and most of the entries will not accommodate a health-conscious diet.-Janet S.
