Summary: More than a cook book.
Comment: I'm a huge fan of Roald Dahl's books for children. Have read most of them over and over again for my own kids. It was a joy though to find a book about Roald Dahl and his family and life, seen through his kitchen. And the many parties he always gave.

Roald Dahl loved food, and in his middle class home in England he loved to gather family and friends around the huge dining room table. On the table there is always delicious food from around the world, also from Norway - the home country of Dahl's mother, the home country of myself.

The book is a perfect mixture of anecdotes from Roald Dahl's life and recipes from his kitchen, and all through it is filled with pictures and photos, both to illustrate the cooking and to illustrate the house and the kitchen. The book also has illustrations by Quentin Blake, the illustrator who has worked with Dahl on so many of his books. For me his drawings are perfectly "Dahlish".

The recipes are all simple though quite chick :-) And following them you will have ideas for an uncountable numbers of parties ahead of you.

Comment: Beautifully illustrated and full of interesting stories, recipies and photographs, this book is perfect for reading on a cold or rainy day. Set in Gipsy House, the Dahl family home in England, the book lets you glimpse upper middle class life in that country. It's honesty makes it all the more enjoyable. The recipies are simple, yet interesting. They tempt you to experiment as they are very straight forward. This well written book is ideal for reading time and time again. It is full of SUNSHINE.
