A Fine Dessert: Four Centuries, Four Families, One Delicious Treat by Emily Jenkins

4.0

A beautiful picture book in both story and illustrations. The repetition of text through four centuries of families making the same dessert ties the story together in a way that shows history and the timelessness of passed down recipes, while acknowledging the differences between the culture in these times. Illustrations and text are well-researched according to the note at the end of the book. The kind of book I'd want to share with my mom and grandmother, or give as a gift along with a family recipe card.
