the recipes are good - and one has rum in it - so gather round kiddies! its way better than any other kids cookbook ive seen - its more original (coleslaw with bananas) and more challenging than most books made for kids. and i have never liked snoopy, so its purely gastronomical. i say yum.

Happiness is...a grilled cheese-tomato sandwich.

This is a sweet novelty cook book.

There are 58 recipes tossed together with no rhyme or reason. Example - a recipe for pet food steak tartar is followed by ICING? Most of the creations bear a character's name - Schroeder's Chocolate Sauce, Lucy's Lemon Squares, Franklin's Jam Tarts. Peppermint Patty gets to plug Prune Whip. Funny...she never really struck me as a prune lover.

Every other page features a food-related Peanuts cartoon. You guessed it - most of them involve Snoopy and his ever-present dog dish.


SUPPERTIME!

I brought this home from elementary school, proudly purchased for 60 cents from the Scholastic Books catalog. I've NEVER EVER been tempted to make Sally's Scrambled Eggs with Stewed Tomatoes, but Frieda's French Toast has been my go-to French Toast recipe for as long as I can remember.

It's a keeper, though more for nostalgic than gastronomic reasons.

I learned to make French Toast from the recipe in this little paperback, and I wish I had a copy now to replace the Scholastic paperback that fell apart long ago.
Out of print, I believe. Could our friends at Fantagraphics Books perhaps bring an updated edition back to print?
Highly recommended.

I too have this collectors item. Wouldn't even think of giving it up. Always brings back memories when I pull it out. Can't wait to be able to pass it on to my kids and grandkids.

Fun book to get some comfort and some old school recipes from. I look forward to trying a few of them out, like the fried chicken and the applesauce cake.

Not really interested in the recipe. Just looking forward to the gang chemistry again after a few month. It did entertained me like usual!
