Hopscotch and Honey Joys |
Hopscotch and Honey Joys, Lisa McCune with Di Thomas, Allen & Unwin Publishers (www.allenandunwin.com) paperback, 2011, rrp $39.99, ISBN 978 1 74237 415 4. Lisa McCune is a much-loved TV star, winner of 10 Logies, and an accomplished stage actress. What is not so well known is that she has a family and is a talented cook as well. Her good friend Di Thomas loves to cook and entertain too, and between their two families, there are six children. Six children with apparently excellent appetites - and judging by the contents of this book, very happy tummies! As the name suggests, this is a fun book, delving into family recipe notebooks for some recipes (Greek pastitsio, spanakopita coil, lemon bake, chickpea fritters) or coming up with spur-of-the-moment goodies that kids love, such as brekkie wraps, sesame crusted chicken pieces or double decker finger sandwiches. It's an energetic, rollicking book, packed with pictures of children at play, children eating, and children's drawings. And mouth-watering pictures of the food itself. You could easily give this book to a mum or her children. Either way the family will have good food as it is impossible to open this book without thinking "I want to cook that - I want to eat that!". - Sally Hammond |
