A curious and fun exploration of food and kitchen life.
“What’s in the cupboards and what’s in the drawer? The bread on the counter, the crumbs on the floor, the smells of cooking, the sound of stirring, and the pleasant hum of mixers purring. Enter, sniff, and feel the thrill. The kitchen is a wonderland, wander in and understand.”
What’s Cooking? starts out by asking an unexpected question, “If I fry a strip of potato, and a slice of tomato, can I fry a scoop of gelato?” Many more whimsical inquiries follow in this curious and fun exploration food and kitchen life. What kinds of food can you throw? What ARE clams en gelée? Do frozen peas grow on frozen trees? Sure to stir readers’ gastronomic curiosity and wonder (and produce a few chuckles along the way).
