mud pies and other recipes : by margaret winslow

Happy Solstice! This felt like a fitting post for today.

The New York Review Children’s Collection recently reissued this incredible children’s book, Mud Pies and Other Recipes. I’m in love and not so sure if I encountered it as a kid, but either way, it’s simple and brilliant. A “cookbook for dolls” is how the author, Marjorie Winslow, describes it. Here are some sample pages to give you a sense.

I think this is a perfect gift for any imaginative soul!
