Notes: This is primarily a cookbook aimed at children, and I remember it very fondly from my childhood. My favourite recipe was definitely French Toast With Honey (in this incarnation, bread dipped in egg and fried). It should be noted that this book is nothing to do with this similarly-named one.
Fabulously-named dishes: The recipes tend to be named in the Winnie-the-Pooh tradition, so there are sections entitled “Smackerels, Elevenses and Teas” and “Provisions for Picnics and Expotitions [sic]”. Possibly the best recipe name is “Hot Chocolate for a very Blusterous Day“.
Other useful information contained within: There are some very basic cooking hints (as this is aimed at the inexperienced, young, cook) but also plenty of illustrations and quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh and The House At Pooh Corner.
Where can I get a copy?: There are various editions
