This is a book that makes learning to cook as adventuresome as a hunt for pirate gold. Prudence and Peter are twins who aspire to culinary fame but just can't get it right in spite of Mrs. Barber, the best cook in the world, reigns in the Ewing kitchen. But somehow they overcome their obstacles and put on a first-class dinner at a critical time. Recipes and information is given but the contagious enthusiasm for the art of fine cooking is the heart of the book. A clean very presentable copy.
