"I found the majority of these recipes to be overly complicated and unappetizing! There are 31 in the book and I would consider trying three or four of them at best. It was fun to look at though and certainly doesnt take long to read...."
"This is actually what it says it is...a recipe book. The fact that it includes the drawings typically found in Roald Dahl's other tales is icing on the cake (pun intended). Some of the recipe titles are gross enough that I'm not sure I'd make these dishes, but they'd be just the ticket to interest a picky child who likes the "gross" factor. Dahl's wife worked out actual recipes with titles of some of the food mentioned in his stories. Here are a couple of samples: "Mosquitoes' Toes and Wampfish Roes Most Delicately Fried" (from 'James & the Giant Peach'), or maybe "Lickable Wallpaper" (from 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory'). Some of the dishes' actual ingredients are good enough I'd consider making the dish. One I'd make just for looks but not for eating is the "The Enormous Crocodile" (baguette with almonds for teeth, covered with frozen chopped spinach, and hard eggs for eyeballs with olives for pupils). Very fun stuff!!"
