Whether you’re entertaining garden sprites, feeding a regiment of toy soldiers, or simply whiling away a lazy afternoon, Mud Pies and Other Recipes is the only make-believe cookbook you’ll ever need. With Marjorie Winslow’s timeless guide on hand, you’ll never be at a loss for something to do in your backyard or by the seashore; you’ll be busy scooping up sand (a filling for Stuffed Sea Shells), hunting for flower petals (they make lovely hors d’oeuvres), and collecting raindrops (essential for brewing up Fried Water). The book is organized by course, and includes a general discussion of yard cookery along with detailed ingredient lists, methods for preparation, and helpful serving suggestions. And on every page, Erik Blegvad’s delightful pen-and-ink drawings ensure that Mud Pies and Other Recipes is a feast for the eyes as well as the imagination.

Praise for Mud Pies and Other Recipes

  • "An adorable little book with charming pictures and a deadpan text." --Pub.Weekly
  • "The children's book sensation of the year..." --Newsweek
  • "My favorite childhood toy [was] a cookbook titled, Mud Pies & Other Recipes." --Kim Morgan, author of A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen
  • "And I also had this book called Mud Pies and Other Recipes: A Cookbook For Dolls, with these totally compelling, pen and ink drawings...I remember once, I went outside to play on this raw, early spring day and my mother's only condition was that I not turn on the hose, but of course I turned on the hose, because of course, that was a requirement of the recipe." --Ayun Halliday, author of Dirty Sugar Cookies
  • "My very first 'cookbook' was a little gem called Mud Pies and Other Recipes by Marjorie Winslow. I bet I was about 5 years old when I started to 'cook' from this book and I spent that summer and many others in my backyard making classics like Pine Needle Upside Down Cake and Instant Mud Custard. Clearly, I was a pastry chef in the making!" --Abby Dodge, the author of the Around the World Cookbook
  • A favorite of Food Network's Sara Moulton, whose grandmother "gave Sara her first cookbook, Mud Pies and Other Recipes...that persuaded her that 'real cooking must be fun.'"
