If you are looking for a book just to look at, this is it. It will inspire you to create. If you are looking for a story-line, keep looking!

The Secrets of Pistoulet is an uplifting, tactile creation of recipes, illustrations and humor, all bound together by a dynamite cover. This book is as much a pleasure to give to others as it was to receive.

This book came to me as a gift from my sister. I receive alot of books from my sister (some still sitting unread) but this one caught my eye right away. The rich colors and the intimate illustrations propelled me from one page to the next. The pop-up syle of surprises found throughout made this book not only interesting reading, but play as well. I enjoyed this book so much I am going to have a party, provide each of the guest with a book and the theme of the party will unfold as we cook up some of the recipes, sip the tea, discuss our journey. And if we have time we can discuss our own legends. This book depicted the wonder, the joy, the fear, adventure and the rewards of transformation. I will pass this book on many times!
