I received this book as a present when I was about 9 or 10 and probably drove my parents crazy asking them to help me make all the recipes in it (and buy the ingredients of course!)
The book consists of recipes from many of Roald Dahl's most famous children's novels. Including "snozzcumbers" from The BFG, "Lickable Wallpaper" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, "Mr Twit's bird pie" from The Twits and many, many more!

I found this book in the most unexpected of places: a book stand (not even a store!) at the Natsu Matsuri 2011. It just goes to show, how there are gems everywhere.
Having grown up on Roald Dahl, I quite naturally love all his books. They're humourous, yet when I re-read them after a few years, I noticed the dark humour. It's marvelous how he writes for all ages, and how you can find layers of meaning in his works.

This is actually what it says it is...a recipe book. The fact that it includes the drawings typically found in Roald Dahl's other tales is icing on the cake (pun intended). Some of the recipe titles are gross enough that I'm not sure I'd make these dishes, but they'd be just the ticket to interest a picky child who likes the "gross" factor. Dahl's wife worked out actual recipes with titles of some of the food mentioned in his stories. Here are a couple of samples: "Mosquitoes' Toes and Wampfish...more

Mosquitoes' Toes & Wampfish Roes most Delicately fried from James &...
Lickable Wallpaper from charlie and the chocolate factory
and much more...its a really fun book for cooking with kids.

This is a sort of cute accompaniment to Dahl's books. And it looks like most of the recipes would make up pretty decently. It might be fun to try a few things from a particular book someone had just read. But it failed my would-I-buy-it-for-my-grandkids test, at least for now. Not many things really caught my fancy enough to seem worth the bother.
I don't usually buy recipe books, but when I saw this book at the flea market, I just have to have it.
The book consists of recipes from Roald Dahl's children books. And it also has pictures of the food and funny illustrations.
I read it to my girls last night, while they said, "Ewwww", I said, "oohh...I got to try to make that."

I seriously read this, it's so funny! My mom had checked it out from the library so my bro could read it for BOOKO (shiver, shiver). But, anyway, the pictures are hilarious!
You kind of have to have read the books to understand, though. I only gave it four stars, because it is a cookbook.

Fantastic book for kids! So imaginative and creative. Easy read that children will find delightful!
Roald Dahl is always brilliant! His stories and rhymes are fun and entertaining! Some of my all time favorites!! Such a great way to entertain children and get them interested in reading!

I found the majority of these recipes to be overly complicated and unappetizing! There are 31 in the book and I would consider trying three or four of them at best. It was fun to look at though and certainly doesnt take long to read....
Roald Dahl was my favorite author as a child. This recipe book would have been such fun. It teaches you how to make snozcumbers, frobscottle, lickable wallpaper, and many other fun foods mentioned in his books.
In school I made Frobscottle and Snozcumbers. In The BFG, Fobscottle was delicious and Snozcumbers were disgusting. When you make them out of real food, it's the other way around. True story.
I must of checked this book out of my elementary school library 5 or 6 times. I loved this book when I was a kid, and you should buy it for anyone between 6 and 9 years old.
I remember my sister getting this for her birthday when it first came out. We were alway haslting my mum to get some of the ingredients to make the reciepes!
Bruce Bogtrotter cake was always my favorite from this book. My mom helped me make it when I was in 3rd grade and we were reading Matilda. Delicious!
My daughter and I made frobscottle for Halloween one year and it was a hit! His imaginitive recipes are a fantastic treat!
Read one of his unforgettable stories to your kids and make the food from the story! Family fun at its finest!
these recipes are awesome! my mom made one of the recipes my birthday cake!-Lazyman117
I really liked this book. The recipes were very revolting, but it was fun to read.

A cook book every kid should have! I made a lot of those recipes in my youth!
Fun way to inspire kids' creativity in the kitchen! Quite gruesome,,
This is fucking awesome & it makes me love Roald Dahl even more :)
I love George’s Marvelous Medicine! It’s gotten me through some (un)pretty sniffly times.
I still want to make the chocolate cake!
The man is a genius!
very revolting
Fun, albeit daunting, recipes to try. Very creative ideas for some of these treats!
This is a must for any kid (family) who loves Roald Dahl's books. Really, who doesn't want to whip up some Snozz-cumbers (the BFG) or Chocolate-covered-strawberry-fudge (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)? We will add this to our shelf, and as my son is old enough to read Roald Dahl with me and his dad, we will bust this book out, cook something up, and eat it (reading between bites, of course),
I just bought this one to use in decorating my kitchen and haven't tried any of the recipes yet. Some of the recipes sound pretty good, and the book has a fairly nice layout. Most of the recipes are accompanied by pictures, and Quentin Blake has added illustrations that interact with the pictures in some way.
