Cooking by James Peterson

Whether you're new to cooking or a seasoned cook, Cooking, by James Peterson, will be a valuable addition to your kitchen.   Have you ever tried baking a loaf of bread, and instead of it coming out soft and mellow, it came out as hard as a rock?  Well, I have, and more than once.   However, this recipe book by James Peterson takes us through the bread-making process step by step, and instead of a rock, a soft and mellow bread can take its place.    Additionally, you will find numerous other easy-to-follow recipes include seafood , meats, pizza, pies, and vegetables.  Many photographs help to capture the beauty of food.  

The Fox and the Stork and The Man, His Son and the Ass

As the titles would attest, there are two stories in this twenty-three-page book, and they are told in a long and short version.   Both stories teach timeless lessons in a manner in which children would enjoy. The fox surely learnt how he should treat his guest while the man and his son found out where “people-pleasing” could lead, and the illustrations are quite fitting.
