Small little books that provide a delightful look at the history and folklore behind many of the things we eat and drink everyday along with a few recipes to try. Author Julie Watson’s inquiring mind led her to explore the fascinating history of food ingredients and create this series of easy-reading mini books. The series explores the commonplace, giving it an “I didn’t know that” appeal. Titillating little reads that bring a taste of the magical to the eating experience. Great conversation starters.
