Celebrity Death Match Review
'Mary'
'Yes, Mary?'
'Whilst you were out helping the sweeps, a note was passed under the door; the contents of which are quite remarkable.'
'Who is it from, Mary dear?'
'Mrs *spit* Beeton'
'Let me have a look'...
Dear Ms Poppins
Knowing that you are an avid reader, I am sure you have already noticed that I have been called upon to look after a recently orphaned little Walter de la Mare character:

This was kind of interesting concept for a kids book. It had a short story in the front about 35 pages long about how the parents go out of town when the cook is on vacation so Mary and the kids have to do the cooking for a week. It gives the menu of what they eat each day and then the rest of the book is the recipes and other recipes from the time. I didn't end up trying any of them but that seemed like a fun thing to do with your child after reading the book.
Because I was on a roll, because I love to cook, I thought this would be fun.
I will say, it has a lot going for it that the others do not. Colorful illustrations are a refreshing change, it is split into seven days of the week and the adventures in the kitchen with Mary Poppins and the children. Then in the back there is an A to Z recipe list of the dishes/beverages/goodies they made, so you can try them for yourself.
I liked it!

A thin volume stitching together a week’s worth of menus based on and inspired by the Mary Poppins tales. The short story introduction is more for structure and an excuse for character cameos than for entertainment but the recipes themselves are interesting and I look forward to trying several of them.
Sniff goes mary poppins! mary poppins teaches michael,jane,the twins and annabel who to cook in a very interesting way.
The Banks' are away, and it's up to Jane and Micheal to cook!
Fun British recipes- not much in the way of story.
It goes to show that when you're in a bind that friends and family are there to help you through it
used this to make dessert for book club when we read Practically Perfect In Every Way (ha ha, get it?)
I love cookbooks that pull foods out of regular books/stories...
