About the book-

Here at last is the first cookbook to celebrate the scrumptious and comforting foods that play a prominent role in Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women. If your family includes a Little Women fan, or if you yourself are one, with this book you can keep the magic and wonder of the beloved tale alive for years to come. Do you wonder what makes the characters so excited to make—and eat!—sweets and desserts like the exotically named Blancmange or the mysterious Bonbons with Mottoes, along with favorites like Apple Turnovers, Plum Pudding, and Gingerbread Cake? Find out for yourself with over 50 easy-to-make recipes for these delectable treats and more, all updated for the modern kitchen.

My thoughts-

Little Women is one of my favorite books of all time. I have loved it since I was a kid. I also love the movie version from the 90's and I am super excited about the upcoming movie adaptation that is coming out for Christmas this year. I love this beautiful cookbook. The gorgeous cover caught my eye first with all of the pretty colors and fun cartoon portraits of the sisters. I thought the recipes were wonderful and that the passages from the book to go along with each picture really added to the overall nostalgic feel of the book. I also love the fun illustrations in the cookbook. I have intentions of talking my book club into reading Little Women (and then going to see the new movie together) for our December meeting and having this excellent cookbook would be a great addition to a fun Little Women themed December. I can't wait!
