5.0

I can't begin to tell you how much I wish this book were around when my Kiddo was growing up. It would have been right up her alley. It consists of a collection of both traditional and contemporary Chinese fairy tales paired with a recipe representative of the tale's theme. So far, my favorites stories are "Banquet of Waste" with a recipe for Congee (rice porridge) and "Stretch and Fold, Stretch and Fold" with a recipe for Dan-Dan Mian (noodles with Peanut Sauce, and "The Ungrateful Wolf" with a recipe for beef lettuce wraps. There are 13 tales and 13 recipes and we are slowly working our way through the whole book. This is a great book for kids and their parents to read and then try the recipes together.
