An okay enough cookbook and cutely designed but I think my brain has a hard time focusing on the recipe with all the business on the pages from cartoons, clip art, and color. Purging from my cookbook collection because despite the years I've had it, and other than looking pretty, it's never called me to cook from it. :/

Some new to try. As always though, it's the art that draws me to everything Mary.
