Right here, right now, I'm going to share a fun recipe from a charming little book...the latest
Cook the Books selection...
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge. This book is actually a children's book, and in all honesty...I found myself transported back to my childhood when I'd grab a book and not put it down until I was finished! I've always loved to be carried away into a world of fantasy. And this book did not disappoint. The characters were fun and spirited and unique (and I bet if I was still just a girl, I'd be instantly transformed into Maria Merryweather).
While I loved the symbolism (sun & moon Merryweathers, lions, black roosters, unicorns, dark and light), it was the food imagery that probably kept me coming back chapter after chapter in this one
since I am a grown woman, thank you very much. Marmaduke Scarlet, the mysterious little cook (and housekeeper extraordinaire) prepares virtual feasts for every meal...from dainty to hearty...to please every palate! My favorite quote from the book comes from Marmaduke, while planning a tea...a gathering of (possibly) epic proportions...
