I have no problem recommending Virginia H. Ellison's "The Pooh Cook Book" (1969). It offers child-friendly recipes (requiring adult supervision) with Pooh-related names or having something to do with honey. Each page has one of the original illustrations or a food-related quotation from the Pooh stories. To make Honey Mustard, just combine 1/4 cup mustard with 1 tablespoon honey. Honey Sauce II is 1 tablespoon fruit juice whipped with 1/3 cup honey and 1/4 cup condensed milk. Hipy Papy Bthuthdth Thuthda Bthuthdy Cake I is a "1, 2, 3, 4 birthday cake," since it combines 1 cup butter and milk, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 3 pinches salt, and 4 eggs. Children can also learn to make muffins, popovers, scrambled eggs, Cottleston Pie (ham quiche), soups, pies, cookies, drinks, and various tea snacks -- about 60 recipes in all. The book's simplest offering is "A Recipe for Getting Thin," which contains no ingredients or instructions. Nothing fancy or difficult, just a simple book admirably designed for its target audience. Very Pooh, in a way.

The Pooh Cook Book by V.H. Ellison

My children and I would use this book to cook together. Their favorite is Cottleston Pie; little did my 4 sons know they were eating quiche. Real men do eat quiche! They need to start printing this treasure again.

Found My Lost Youth

This book was given to me the year it was published(1969.) I just came across it while unpacking boxes.Looking through the book brought back alot of childhood memories. Making the recipes at thirty eight was just as much fun as when I was nine. Poohanpiglet Pancakes, Honey Toffee Pennies, Easy Honey Buns, Cream Scones, etc...If ya can find a copy get it and give it to a young'n and give them a lifetime of memories.
